Bail process through a bail agency: In the state of Georgia, bail bonding companies charge 15% of the total property bond that is set by the magistrate judge. For example: if the person incarcerated has a bond set at $2,500.00 the bond fee to the bail agency would be $375.00. There is a mandatory $20.00 booking and processing fee that the JAIL charges separately that must be brought in exact cash. Therefore the total amount would be $395.00. The bonding company can be paid by credit/debit card, cash, check or money order. Payments are available at the owners discretion. The bonding company requires a co-signer in order to post the bond. This is to assure us the person incarcerated will come to their court date(s). Once the bond has been posted, it could take anywhere between 30 minutes to a few hours for them to be released depending on the time of day and amount of traffic volume in the jail. We ALWAYS call to remind our clients of their court dates as a courtesy to them.
