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 expense of bailing someone out of DeKalb County Jail in Georgia fluctuates based on the nature of the charges and the ruling of the judge. The bail amounts can span from a modest sum to several thousand dollars. Generally, bail for misdemeanors is set at a lower rate, whereas felony charges can command considerably higher bail amounts. If you opt for a bail bond service in DeKalb County, the norm is to pay approximately 12% of the bail amount for bonds under $10,000, and 15% for those exceeding $10,000 as a fee to the bail bond agent. This is in addition to a $20 non-refundable fee mandated by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office.
