APPEAL BOND Is when an individual has been found guilty on the charges of which they were accused.
The 'Appeal Bond', once again secures the individuals freedom until such time as he/she reappears in court and the appeal is heard, or denied. The premium charged on 'Appeal Bonds' is usually 20%.
CASH BOND A 'Cash Bond' amount that is posted with the jail or the court to secure the defendants release from custody. Usually set on the person, not the offense. A judge or court may order a 'Cash Bond' on an individual that has failed numerous times to appear in court, also for individuals who have been recalled or for child support.
CITATION RELEASE (CITE OUT) When the arresting officer issues a ticket, citation or notice to the arrestee to appear in court at a certain time or pay the amount ordered for the offense charged. 'Cite Outs' usually occur immediately after an individual is arrested/detained for an offense.
CIVIL BOND When an individual has had civil litigation or accusations brought against them, and they failed to appear for court; or failed to pay the required money, of judgement.
FEDERAL BOND Only for cases heard in Federal Courts. The premium is usually posted through and paid to the court instead of a Surety Company. The premium charged will be returned once the defendant completes his/her court appearances.
IMMIGRATION BOND Bonds written on Illegal Aliens and/or persons from other countries that are awaiting trial in the United States. Held in specific Federal Courts.
OWN RECOGNIZANCE (OR) BOND An 'O.R. Bond' constitutes an administrative pre-trial release. This is usually for minor, first time offenses when a person can sign themselves out of jail; but promise to re-appear in court at a later date, to face charges. In some jurisdictions, there is an interview process to determine if a person will be released on their own signature; personal merit.
PROPERTY BOND Property is posted for the full face amount of the bond. This is usually done through an attorney and the court. Documentation must be adequately prepared proving that the property is clear of all encumbrances and/or liens and will be pledged to the court for the defendants BAIL amount. If the defendant misses any of the court proceedings, the court may then foreclose on the property.
SURETY BOND When a Surety Company and/or Bail Agent signs for and posts bond for a defendant. The guarantee by the Surety allows the accused to be released from custody until such time as the court determines guilt or innocence and sentence has been imposed. Usually a 10% premium is charged.
TRANSFER BOND Writing a Bond in one jurisdiction while having a Network Associate coordinate the defendants release in another jurisdiction. A Bond could be written in California, to secure a persons release in Kansas.
