Our Sanford office handles bonds at the Seminole County Jail, the John E. Polk Correctional Facility. Our team answers 24/7, and a licensed agent can start your bond by phone in minutes.
When a judge or the bond schedule sets bail, you can pay the full amount to the jail, or pay a licensed agent a premium and the agent posts a bond for the full amount. In Florida the premium is 10% of the bond, with a $100 minimum per charge. The premium is the fee for the bond and is not refunded. Collateral, if we ask for any, comes back when the case ends.
Good to know
Paying the court directly would tie up $10,000 until the case ends.
Several charges? Each charge has its own bond and its own $100 minimum. Estimate only; we confirm the exact premium before you sign.
vs. the court vs. the bankOn a $25,000 bond, and we write bonds up to $2,000,000. You can pay the court in cash, borrow the cash, or pay us the premium. Here is what each one really costs.
Payment plans
Most families do not have the full premium ready at 2am. Plans are set case by case, based on the bond and what you can put down tonight.
How you can pay

You do not have to be in Florida to get someone out.
We still write the bond. Because a hold makes a case unpredictable, we secure these with collateral for the full bond amount, returned when the case is over and the bond is discharged.
We will also tell you straight: posting the county bond does not cancel an immigration hold, and the jail can hold someone up to 48 hours for immigration to pick them up.
How immigration holds work →The bond is the amount written on the warrant, not the local schedule. We check every hold before you pay anything.
They walk out of intake at the John E. Polk Correctional Facility, 211 Eslinger Way, and there is a main lobby where family can wait. A surety bond, which is what we post, goes through the same window. Card payments made directly to the jail are capped at $2,500 per charge, which is one reason most families use an agent. How long release takes depends on how busy intake is, so plan for a wait rather than a moment.
We will call you when the bond is posted so you are not waiting in the lot for hours.
