How much does it cost to post bail?

This will vary on a case by case basis, as the fees associated with issuing a bail bond is generally between 10% to 15% of the full bail amount.

What are my options when it comes to paying for a bail bond?

Many bail agencies offer flexible payment plans, including the use of collateral. Many places also take all major credit and debit cards, checks and cash.

What are my responsibilities as the co-signer of the bond?

If you are the co-signer on a bail bond it is your responsibility to ensure the defendant appears at each scheduled court date regarding their case. If they miss a court date a warrant will be issued for their arrest and you may be liable for paying their complete bail amount.
