Highlands County Bail Bonds

Help for Those Arrested in Highlands County

Highlands County is located northwest of Lake Okeechobee, positioned almost at the exact center of the South Florida region. Although this county is more rural and further away from the more populous areas, there are plenty of things to do.

With strict laws in Florida for fishing, hunting and boating, it’s not uncommon for good guys to be ticketed. That’s why it is important to review the Florida Fish and Wildlife Regulations before heading out for a day of adventure. Many who have been fined forget to pay a ticket, then miss a court date to dispute it. At that point, the violator has probably been issued an arrest warrant for a ‘failure to appear’.

How Much is Does a Bail Bond Cost?

After a person has been arrested and booked into jail the magistrate will set a bail amount based on the type of crime committed and the arrestee’s criminal history if eligible for a bond in Florida.

A bail bondsman will charge 10% of the set bail amount for a state bond. For instance, if the bail amount set by the court is $50,000, the bail bond agent will require $5,000 for a state crime.

Who Can Bail Someone Out of Jail?

Any legal adult age 18 or over can bail an inmate out in Florida with a valid ID or passport. This person is referred to as an indemnitor and takes on the responsibility along with the bail bond company to make sure the defendant shows up for all required court dates until the case is closed.

How Long Does it Take to Post Bail?

Once bail has been paid directly to the court clerk or a bail bond has been submitted, it typically takes between two to twelve hours for an inmate to be released.
