Bail Bond Payment Plans
Flexible Options Subject to Qualification and Approval
Bail amounts in Orange County can be significant, and coming up with the full bail bond premium at once is not always possible for families. Post It Bail Bonds offers payment plan options to help make bail bond services more accessible — subject to qualification and approval.
How Bail Bond Payment Plans Work
In California, the bail bond premium is set by law at 10% of the total bail amount. For a $50,000 bail, the premium is $5,000. For a $100,000 bail, the premium is $10,000. This premium is the fee for the bail bond service and is not refunded when the case concludes.
When paying the full premium upfront is not feasible, a payment plan may allow a family to pay a portion of the premium at the time of signing and the remainder over time. Payment plans are subject to qualification and approval — not all applicants will qualify, and terms vary based on individual circumstances.
