Express Bail Bonds writes surety bail bonds for Colorado courts and detention facilities. The state-mandated rate is 15%; bonds over $5,000 with an approved cosigner can drop to 10%. That is what we charge. Nothing is hidden.
Standard rate
15%
Of the bond amount. The state-mandated Colorado bail premium. Non-refundable — it is the fee for posting the bond on your loved one’s behalf.
$1,000 bail = $150 · $5,000 bail = $750 · $10,000 bail = $1,500 · $50,000 bail = $7,500
Reduced rate
10%
Available on bonds over $5,000 when an approved cosigner is on the application. Same paperwork, lower premium.
$10,000 bail = $1,000 · $25,000 bail = $2,500 · $50,000 bail = $5,000
what we offer
Everything that needs to happen between the call and the release.
Surety bail bonds
We post bonds on behalf of defendants in custody at Colorado courts and detention facilities. The 15% (or 10% with cosigner) premium is paid to us; we underwrite the rest.
24/7 live phone & text intake
A real, knowledgeable bondsman answers — day, night, weekends, holidays. No voicemail, no IVR, no wait. Texting is welcome if a phone call is not safe right now.
Online application & contracts
A secure link to your phone with the application, the contract, and the payment authorization. No driving across town, no printer, no fax machine.
Electronic bond posting
Most Colorado detention facilities accept electronic bond posting around the clock, which removes the trip to the jail and shortens the release window.
Statewide coverage
Denver Metro courts and jails, plus every Colorado county. From the Front Range to the mountain courts to the Western Slope — we know the procedures and the people.
Free bail-bond consultation
The first call is free and there is no obligation. Mark will explain what the bond will cost, what the cosigner is signing, and what happens after the release — before you commit.
straight talk
What we cannot do — and why we’ll tell you on the first call.
Transparent about what is — and isn’t — possible.
The bail process has hard limits set by Colorado statute and individual court orders. Our job is to be useful inside those limits — not to oversell what’s outside them.
Cash-only bonds
When a court orders a cash-only bond, no bail agent in Colorado can post a surety bond against it — that restriction is set by the court, not by us. If your situation is cash-only, we will tell you immediately and explain the alternative path.
High-pressure sales
We don’t upsell. There is one product and one rate. If the math doesn’t work for your family, we will say so.
Promises we can’t keep
We won’t guarantee a release time the jail controls. We give you the typical 2–4 hour window, plus what we are seeing in the booking queue right now — that is more honest than a fixed promise.
application checklist
What to have on hand when you apply.
Defendant details.
Full legal name, date of birth, booking number (if you have it), the jail or detention facility holding them, the charges, and the bond amount the court set.
Cosigner ID.
A valid government photo ID — driver’s license, state ID, or passport. We need clear photos of both sides.
Cosigner financial info.
Social Security number, proof of income (a recent paystub, W-2, or benefits statement), and proof of address. We may ask for banking or asset details for larger bonds.
A way to be reached.
A phone you’ll answer for the next few hours. Once the bond is posted, we keep you updated until the release happens.
Ready when you are.
The first call is free, the application is on your phone, and the release usually happens in 2–4 hours. Available 24 / 7.
