If you need to post bail but do not have property or other assets to pledge, call J & E Bail Bonds at 813-579-6897. A no-collateral bond may be available depending on the bond amount, charges, court conditions, indemnitor qualifications and other case details.
No-collateral approval is not automatic or guaranteed. A licensed agent must review the specific case before explaining the available options.
What “no collateral” means
Collateral is property or another asset used to help secure a bail bond. A no-collateral bond may allow a qualified signer to arrange the bond without pledging real estate, a vehicle or another asset. The signer is still responsible for the agreement, payment terms and ensuring the defendant follows every court requirement.

Frequently asked questions
Can every bond be written without collateral?
No. Eligibility depends on the case, bond amount, risk and signer qualifications.
Does no collateral mean no payment?
No. The bond premium and any approved payment arrangement remain separate from collateral.
How quickly will someone be released?
We can begin our work promptly, but the jail controls release processing after the bond is posted.
