Florida law sets the bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the total bond amount. This is a state-regulated rate — not negotiable. A $5,000 bond = $500 premium. That fee is earned upon posting and is non-refundable regardless of how the case is resolved.

What happens if the defendant misses a court date?
If a defendant fails to appear, the judge issues a bench warrant and the bail bond may be forfeited. The bondsman will work to locate the defendant. It is critical that all scheduled court dates are attended. Contact a licensed bail bondsman at (352) 301-6840 if you have concerns.
Can bond be reduced at the Alachua County first appearance hearing?
