North Carolina sets a maximum bail bond premium of 15% of the bond amount. What you actually pay depends on the situation — the size of the bond, prior history, and whether there have been missed court dates in the past.Many cases come in below that maximum, especially with a local cosigner. We work case by case.The premium is earned once the bond is posted and is not refundable, even if the charges are later dropped. A down payment is required before the bond is posted, with payment plans available for the balance.Payment is required before the bond is posted.
