Bail refers to the amount of money set by the court that must be paid to secure the release of a detained individual awaiting trial. A bond, on the other hand, is an alternative to paying the full bail amount. A bondsman or bail bond agency can post a bond on behalf of the defendant. The person seeking the bond usually pays a percentage of the bail amount (typically around 10%) to the bail bond agency, which then guarantees the full bail amount to the court.

The cost of bailing someone out of jail in East Point/College Park, Georgia, is subject to the bail amount set by the court, which can vary significantly based on the nature of the charges and the judge’s decision. Bail amounts can range widely, potentially from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, with misdemeanors typically incurring lower bail amounts compared to felonies.

In Georgia, including East Point/College Park, the fee for a bail bond generally cannot exceed 15%. For bonds under $10,000, bondsmen are restricted to charging a maximum of 12%. For example, if the bail is set at $10,000, the bond will cost around $1,500. Additionally, in cases of minor offenses where the bail is $1,000 or less, it’s often possible to use a driver’s license as collateral instead of paying a traditional bail bond fee, a unique provision in Georgia.
