Easy Bail Bond Payment Plan Calculator
How Bail Is Set In Connecticut
In the state of Connecticut, a judge sets the bail amount. The amount is initially based on a bail schedule but may change to a higher or lower amount based on the circumstances of the case. Once an amount has been set, your bail bond agent will determine the bail amount that you need to be released. The bail bond is a small portion or percentage of the total bail set by the Judge. You then pay the bail agent to secure your release.

Choosing a bail bondsman or a bail bond company is typically quite simple because they are all regulated by law. However, you should make sure that the bail bond company that you choose strictly follows the local Connecticut laws and regulations. You wouldn’t want your case to be affected negatively by the bail bond agent posting the bond illegally or improperly. All Connecticut bail bond agents are required to follow strict laws that regulate the bail bond premiums, bail agent fees, rates, and their payment plans. These laws are set for all bail agencies and regulated by the Department of Insurance. The Department also requires individual bail agents to report to them on a monthly basis. Additionally, the state law of Connecticut requires bail agencies to be audited twice a year.
