What are appraisals for bail bonds for?

Bail bonds can be used to temporarily release people from police custody, and they can be "bought" with cash or other assets — like property. Before a home or property can be used as a bond, the court must ensure that it's worth more than the dollar cost of the bond. To begin this process, a real estate appraiser must determine the estimated value of your home using a bail bond appraisal. This is called a property bond.

When are bail bond appraisals needed?

You'll want to get a bail bond appraisal if you use your property as bond. If someone close to you is in jail and you can't afford to pay cash for the bond, a property bond can be used to allow them out of police custody.

What happens in a bail bond appraisal?

A bail bond appraisal is similar to other kinds of appraisals — an appraiser performs an inspection of a property, then writes a report that explains how they estimated the value. You can count on the estimates performed by 1st Appraisal Choice thanks to our extensive experience, familiarity with the Collin County area, and conformity to the Appraisal Foundation standards and regulations.
