Frequently Asked Questions

A bail bond is a financial guarantee paid to the court so a defendant can be released from jail while awaiting trial. A licensed bail bondsman posts the full bail amount on the defendant's behalf in exchange for a non-refundable premium, typically 15% of the bail in North Carolina.

In North Carolina, the standard bail bond premium is 15% of the total bail amount. For a $10,000 bail, the premium is $1,500. This fee is set by state law and is non-refundable. Pro Bail Bonds offers flexible payment plans for qualifying clients.

Once a bond is posted, release usually takes 2 to 8 hours depending on the jail's processing time. Pro Bail Bonds responds to all calls within one hour, day or night, to start the process as quickly as possible.
