Cash Bond Refund Information
A bond is a promise to the court that a person charged with a crime will appear for their future court dates and remain within the jurisdiction of the court. There are two types of bail bonds used for this purpose:
- A surety bond is guaranteed by a bond agency and usually secured by a person's real property of some kind
- A cash bond is the total amount of the bond set in cash
