Common questions, straight answers.

In Florida, bail bond premiums are set and approved by the state — typically 10% of each bond amount for state bonds, or 15% for federal bonds, with a $100 minimum premium per bond. Under Florida law, each charge or offense that requires bail has its own bond, so someone with multiple charges has a premium calculated for each bond separately. For example, bonds of $5,000 and $1,500 have premiums of $500 + $150 = $650 total. A bond under $1,000 still carries the $100 minimum premium. Rates cannot be discounted above or below the approved rate. Call us and we will explain what applies to the specific case.

Not always. Faroy Bail Bonds can post many state and federal bonds without collateral for qualifying clients. Larger bonds may require collateral such as real property, a vehicle title, or a co-signer with steady income.

After a bond is posted, Miami-Dade release processing can still take several hours and sometimes longer. The jail—not the bondsman—controls the final release timeline. What we can do is prepare and post the bond quickly and keep you updated while you wait.

In many Florida cases the bond amount is already set by the bond schedule during booking, and the bond can be posted without waiting for a first court appearance. Some charges are treated differently — domestic violence among them — and require a judge to address bond first. Because this depends on the charge and the case, ask us when you call, and speak with a defense attorney for legal advice about a specific case.

In some cases, yes. It depends on the defendant's record, ties to the community, employment, and the bond amount. Call us and we'll tell you straight.

Generally no. Standard Florida bond conditions restrict travel while the case is pending. A defendant out on bond typically cannot leave the state of Florida without prior written permission from both the court and the bail bond agent — and international travel is almost always prohibited (the court will usually require the surrender of any passport). Leaving without permission is treated as a bond violation, which can trigger a warrant, forfeiture of the bond, and re-arrest. If travel is necessary for work, family, or a medical reason, call us first — in many cases we can help request permission through the court.
