North Carolina Bail Bond Laws

In North Carolina, bail bond laws are governed primarily by Chapter 58, Article 71 of the state statutes, which outlines the licensing, responsibilities, and conduct of bail bondsmen and runners. The law also defines different types of bondsmen—such as surety, professional, and accommodation bondsmen—and regulates how they can assist defendants in securing release before trial. These regulations aim to uphold transparency, accountability, and fairness in the bail process across the state. Our team at KC's 24/7 Bonding possesses deep knowledge of the intricacies within the North Carolina legal system and offers several compelling benefits in an effort to get you the support you need.


Types of Bail Bonds

Bail bonds come in several forms. The type of bond used often depends on the nature of the offense, the defendant's financial situation, and the discretion of the court. Here is a quick breakdown of the most common types:


  • Cash Bond: The full bail amount is paid in cash directly to the court.
  • Surety Bond: A bail bondsman pays the bail on behalf of the defendant, charging a non-refundable fee (typically 10%).
  • Property Bond: Real estate or other valuable property is used as collateral to secure release.
  • Citation Release: Issued by law enforcement for minor offenses, allowing the defendant to avoid jail and appear in court later.
  • Recognizance Release: The defendant is released based on a promise to return to court, without paying bail.
  • Federal Bail Bond: Used in federal cases, often involves stricter conditions and higher amounts.
  • Immigration Bail Bond: Specifically for non-citizens detained by immigration authorities.


KC's 24/7 Bonding will help you to determine which bail type is best suited for your situation, as well as your related responsibilities.

  • What is bail?

    Bail is a set amount of money that allows a person to be released from jail while awaiting trial, acting as a guarantee they'll appear in court.

  • What's the difference between bail and a bond?

    Bail is the amount set by the court, while a bond is a guarantee from a bail bondsman, like KC's 24/7 Bonding, to pay the full bail amount if the defendant doesn't appear in court.

  • What does "forfeiture" mean in bail bonds?

    Forfeiture occurs when a defendant fails to appear in court, resulting in the bail bond being forfeit, and the full amount becoming due to the court.
