SYRACUSE, NY BAIL BOND PROCESS
Example: $5000 cash bail/ $10,000 bond
Cash bail you pay in full to the court. In this example, $5000. You will get all of this money back, less court surcharges, once the case is resolved. This usually takes several months. A Bail Bond is like an insurance policy. You will pay a premium of 10% or less. In this example, $860. YOU DO NOT GET THIS MONEY BACK. You are making a promise with the court that the defendant will appear at all court dates as instructed. If he/she misses court, you will owe the full amount of the bond, $10,000.
