A bail bond is a financial agreement that allows a person who has been arrested to be released from jail while their court case proceeds. A licensed bail bond agent pays the full bail amount to the court on the defendant's behalf in exchange for a non-refundable premium, typically 10% of the total bail set by the court.
The Bail Bond Process for Families
Annie Bail Bonds handles every step of this process for your family from the first phone call to the moment your loved one walks out.
Call us with a name and a jail.
Give us the defendant's full name and the facility where they're held, that's enough to get started. Call 813-613-3829 and we'll take it from there.
We confirm the bail amount and walk you through the cost.
We look up the booking details, verify the bail amount the court set, and tell you the exact non-refundable premium before you sign anything.
You sign the paperwork, in person or electronically.
We explain every form before you sign. No legal experience needed, and electronic signing is available if that's easier for you.
We post the surety bond with the Hillsborough County Jail.
Once paperwork and payment are confirmed, we post the bond directly with the facility and manage every step from here.
Your loved one is processed for release.
Hillsborough County Jail processing usually takes two to four hours after the bond is posted, depending on current volume. We stay available the whole time you're waiting.
How Bail Bond Costs Work in Hillsborough County
The judge sets the bail amount; not the bondsman.
A judge sets the bail figure at the defendant's first appearance or arraignment, based on the charges, criminal history, and flight risk. Annie Bail Bonds has no say in this number, and amounts can vary widely depending on the charges involved.
The 10% premium is set by Florida law and is non-refundable.
Florida law sets the bail bond premium at 10% of the total bail amount. This fee compensates us for taking on the financial risk that the defendant will appear in court, and it's non-refundable even if charges are dropped or the case is dismissed.
Payment plans are available for Hillsborough County families.
We offer flexible payment plans for clients who can't pay the full premium upfront, and we work with employed individuals and families throughout Hillsborough County. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Cash, Check, and Cash App. Call 813-613-3829 to discuss an arrangement confidentially.

Florida law sets the bail bond premium at 10% of the total bail amount set by the court, and this fee is non-refundable regardless of how the case resolves. This is a state-regulated rate, and payment plans are available through Annie Bail Bonds for those who need one.
