How much does a bail bond cost in North Carolina?

North Carolina law caps the bail bond premium at 15 percent of the bond's face amount, and no licensed bondsman may charge above that cap. The premium is a non-refundable service fee, not a loan. The exact amount depends on the bail the court sets, so the honest answer comes from a free quote by phone rather than a figure online.

Is the bail bond premium refundable?

No. The premium paid to a bail bondsman in North Carolina is a non-refundable service fee for posting the bond, not a deposit and not a loan. It is earned once the bond is posted, regardless of how the case ends. This is how surety bail bonds work under state regulation, which a bondsman can explain fully before you decide anything.
