The first step in the bonding process of Highlands County Florida is gathering information. For an inmate to be released the indemnitor, or person representing the arrested, must be able to provide:
-
Arrestee’s full name
-
Birth date
-
The day the person was arrested
-
How much the bail was set at
-
A credit card
Highlands County bail bonds also offers pay by phone bonding services. The indemnitor does not have to live in Highlands County to use this service. Other than the information above, the indemnitor needs a fax machine and a copy machine to return the required forms signed. The forms can all be downloaded from our website or we can send them to you via fax or email.

With each option, phone or physically going to the bondsman, the most time spent is waiting for the defendant to be released. This process will differ depending on which jail the arrestee is in. Different jails have different release methods. Other than that, filling out all of the forms usually takes about an hour. Once the defendant is released the bondsman may require additional information or signatures from the arrestee.

The next step is assuring the defendant shows up at all of his/her court dates related to the case. The indemnitor will receive their bond money back, after bond fees, when all court dates have been satisfied. It is now the indemnitor and the bondsman’s responsibility to make sure the defendant shows at each court appearance. With two people in charge of this, it is more likely the defendant will make all of the dates.
The amount paid for bail in Highlands County Florida is the standard 10% of initial bail appointed by the Judge. The percentage only changes when the defendant has more than one charge, it is an immigration bail bond, or federal bail bond. The reason for the increased percentage of initial bail is because these types of bonds carry a higher risk of the arrestee not making it to his/her court appearances. For extremely high bail amounts, a payment plan can usually be set up between indemnitor and bondsman.

What if the defendant does not show up for a court date? In this case the indemnitor is responsible for paying the full bond. If collateral was put up as part of a substantial bail amount, the collateral becomes property of the bondsman. If the defendant does make it to court and the judgment is made, collateral and indemnitor’s 10% is returned, guilty or not. We also write Highlands County Immigration Bonds.
