Bail Bonds in Blount County

Posting bail bonds in Blount County involves meeting with one of our bail agents, filling out an application, and signing a contract. The contract is a financial guarantee to the bonding company from the co-signer. The bail bond is a financial guarantee to the court from the bonding company. The contract and the bail bond guarantee the defendant will appear in court each and every time the court orders.

After an agreement is reached between the bonding company and the co-signer and all fees are paid, the bail agent will physically post the bail bonds for the full bond amount with the jail or court. The defendant is released on bond and given a date and location to appear in court.

Pricing

For this service Rocky Top Bail Bonds charges a premium (typically 10% of the full bond amount). A service charge of no more than $25.00 and a Tennessee tax of $12.00 are added to the total. In addition, depending on the individual circumstances, we may require physical collateral from the co-signer. This collateral may be used as payment if the defendant misses court.

Co-Signer Responsibility

If the defendant fails to appear in court, call us immediately. There is a narrow window of opportunity to avoid paying additional charges. The co-signer is responsible for paying the full amount of the bail bonds if the defendant cannot be located. The co-signer is responsible for all expenses incurred by the bonding company while looking for the defendant.

Note:

It is critical the co-signer feels confident the defendant will appear in all required court appearances or posting bail is not recommended.
