A bail bond agent posts the bail on your behalf after passing necessary paper work and payment to bond out of jail. After completion of processing, jail releases processes start and with the workload of the facilities, they take time.

First option is to pay the full amount of the bond in CASH plus a filing fee that goes straight to the jail. For example, if you had a friend or loved one in jail at the Arapahoe County Jail in Centennial, CO on a $3,000 cash or surety bond. You could secure their freedom/release by giving the Jail the $3,000 CASH plus a filing fee in Arapahoe County of $10 for a total of $3,010.00.

Second option is after the bond is set, the qualified Cosigner or person willing to be responsible for the bond(s) contacts one of our friendly & professional bail bondsman to assist you for pennies on the dollar. By hiring a bondsman continuing with the example above calling for a $3,000 cash or surety bond. You would pay cash which is called Premium for the bond in the amount of up to 15% (Colo. Statute limit) of the bond amount in cash, credit, by using property or if you do not have all of the premium we could even do a payment plan depending on the bond amount (pay plans not available on bonds lower than $3,100). There is still a filing fee applied for each bond. So a $3,000 cash or surety bond would cost you up to $450 plus the filing fee of $10 in Arapahoe County for a total of $460. Now the State limit is 15%, however, if the co-signer is using Collateral the pricing will typically get better. In other words, depending on the collateral pledged by the co-signer the price could come down as low as $290 plus the filing fee of $10 for a total of $300. Third option is after the bond is set, and the Court includes the option to use property to post the bond which is usually available when bond amount is $10,000 or greater the bond is set as a $10,000 CASH/PROPERTY/OR SURETY BOND. In this case the Cosigner could pledge a Home or some REAL property with the Court and the Court placing a lien on the Co-Signers home in the amount of the bond plus the jail filing fee to secure the persons freedom/release.

Fourth option is in setting the bond the Judge decides to give the person in jail a Personal Recognizance bond or a P.R. bond and allow them to essentially sign and be released.

Collateral is the offering of an asset that is used as surety to be released on bond. Collateral could be property, vehicles or even values. It indemnifies the bondsman in case the defendant does not appear in court and is imprisoned upon completion of the case.

CASH. Cash can function as collateral as well. For example, if someone needed a $5,000 bond and they had no collateral they may be required to put up SOME cash collateral. The bail company may ask for $500 cash collateral in addition to the premium charged. However, unlike the premium the $500 cash collateral would be returned in full to the cosigner’s upon the cosigners provided proof that the case/bond has been released. Home or Real Property. The home or real property to be pledged via a deed of trust may be in Colorado or outside of Colorado just so the property to be used is not currently situated in a Homestead State. Colorado is NOT a homestead State. The bail company will place a lien on the home to the extent of the bond and the lien will remain in place until the bond is fully released which means the case made it to a final disposition. Jewelry. We have jewelry appraisers that will appraise the jewelry and we allocate the amount as collateral. Upon the closing of the case and release of the bond the jewelry is returned to cosigner(s). See below how jewelry can be used to pay the premium on the bond. Credit/Debit Card Collateral. We would not charge the card until and ONLY if the defendant fails to appear or fails to pay all premium as agreed. If you have a valid credit/debit bank card call us for details on how this CAN be used as a form of collateral.
Auto Title. If the cosigner has an original, GREEN TITLE to a vehicle meaning the property is fully paid off and the Title is in the name(s) of the cosigner(s) and the vehicle in question is in good working condition with a current registration and valid proof of insurance it could be pledged as collateral. Now the amount of Collateral allocated to the pledged property will also vary. Obviously the value that will be allocated will be directly tied to the year, make & model as well as the current condition of the vehicle being pledged. We give 0 (zero) value to non-registered and non-working or driving vehicles.
Un Secured-Lines-of-credit. A portion of a credit line may be used a collateral. Bank Account and/or Annuity Accounts. These may be used as collateral to the extent of the bond(s) being posted.
