Can Cash Bonds Be Transferred to Surety Bail?

In the state of Indiana when an individual gets arrested and arrives at the county jail they will be seen by a judge to determine if they will be released at their own recognition or be given a cash or surety bond. If the judge sets a cash bond that means that the cash bond has to be paid to the jail and not a bail bondsman. If the judge sets a surety bond that means that the bond has to be paid to a bail bonding agency licensed bail bonds.


Surety Bonds – You must pay 8% or 10% of the face value of the bond. If the bond is set at $50,000.00 dollars you must pay $4,000.00 or $5,000.00 to a bail bondsman.


Cash Bonds – You pay the full bond amount or 10% of the cash bond amount if the judge decides to set a 10% cash bond. If the bond is set at $50,000.00 you must pay the full amount and if the judge sets the bond to a $50,000.00 10% cash bond you must pay $5,000.00.


If the cash bond the judge has set is a financial strain and not affordable you can request a bail review hearing through the defendant's attorney. To get the cash bond switched to a surety bond so that you can pay the 8% because it’s much cheaper, keep in mind a bail bondsman is not an attorney and cannot get the bond switched to a surety bond. To get the bond switched you have to go through an attorney.
