Do I Get My Money Back After The Case Is Over?

Do You Get Your Money Back After Posting Bail? | Ft. Pierce Bail Bonds Explained

If you’re searching for bail bonds in Ft. Pierce, one of the most common questions we hear is: “Do I get my money back after the case is over?”

Here’s what you need to know: In most cases, the bail bond premium is non-refundable. This premium—typically 10% of the total bail amount as required by Florida law—is the service fee paid to the bail bonds office for securing the defendant’s release from the St. Lucie County Jail.

Once the defendant is out of custody, that fee is considered fully earned, regardless of the outcome of the case. Without posting a bond, the defendant would have to remain in jail until their court date, which can be weeks—or even months—away.

There are rare exceptions, and we’re always happy to review your specific situation and explain the process clearly. At Rick’s Bail Bonds Ft. Pierce, our goal is to provide honest, upfront information so you can make informed decisions during a difficult time.
