FAQ
To get a bondability statement or letter of bonding capacity you'll need to talk with your surety agent and have it provided with the surety's approval.
First, you'll have to fill out the proper Georgia notice of intent to lien form. Then, you must record the claim with the county clerk's office before serving the lien to the property owner.
In some cases, the defendant may be considered a threat to public safety and denied bail. This is usually seen in cases where the defendant is accused of a hate crime, terrorism, or stalking, or if the defendant has a history of making threats or violence against others.
Defendants out on bond are often required to remain within a certain geographic area, usually within the state or county where the case is being prosecuted. Travel outside of this area is typically prohibited unless explicitly permitted by the court.
Those conditions normally involve refraining from using or possessing alcohol, firearms, and drugs (unless prescribed by a physician) while out on bond, not violating any other laws while out on bond, and in cases of violence, having no contact with the victim in the case.
Value: Forty percent (40%) of the assessed property value must cover the bond amount. Risks: If the defendant fails to appear, a lien will be placed on the property. Properties with existing liens are ineligible. Firearm Exception: Stricter requirements apply if a firearm was involved in the alleged crime.
In Georgia, after an arrest, you are entitled to a bond hearing within 72 hours (not including weekends and holidays). During this hearing, a judge will decide if you should be detained or released pending trial. If you are not charged with a crime within this period, you must be released.
