ABOUT Municipal Bonds
What Are Municipal Bonds in Bail?
Municipal bonds are a type of bail bond used when someone is arrested for breaking city or municipal ordinances - for example, traffic violations, public disturbances, loitering, or other non-felony offenses handled by a city court.
These bonds act as a promise to the court that the defendant will return for their scheduled court date and follow any requirements set by the city’s legal system. While these cases are usually less serious than state or federal charges, they still require a legal guarantee before release from custody.
At Josh Steward Bail Bonds, we make securing a municipal bond fast, simple, and affordable, so you or your loved one can get out of jail quickly and prepare for your court date.
