Miami Bail Bonds FAQ
Clear answers about TGK jail bonds, first appearance hearings, and release timelines.
How much is my jail bond if it is $10,000 in Florida?
In Florida, the bail bond premium is typically around 10% of the bond amount, so a $10,000 bond is often about $1,000. The exact amount can vary by county, judge, and agency, and collateral may be required depending on the case.
What can a bail bondsman do legally in Florida?
A licensed bail bondsman can post bond, verify case details with the jail, and help ensure court appearance. If a defendant misses court, a bondsman can locate and surrender them under Florida law, but cannot impersonate law enforcement or enter property without consent or legal authority.
Do you have to pay 100% of a bond?
Not usually. When using a bail bondsman, you pay a nonrefundable premium rather than the full bond. If you pay the court the full cash bond, it may be refunded at case completion, minus any fees or fines. We can explain both options for TGK cases.
How long does it take to get released from TGK Jail?
Release times depend on TGK processing and court schedules. Most releases take several hours after the bond is posted. We provide updates, confirm booking details, and help move the process forward as quickly as possible.
What do I need to start a bail bond?
You usually need the inmate's full name, date of birth, and booking number if available. If you do not have the booking number, we can look it up with basic details and confirm the charges with TGK.
Do you post bonds 24/7?
Yes. We are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week to post bond for TGK and nearby facilities. Call anytime for immediate help.
