Every county in Florida sets its own bail schedule. Below is the Volusia County Uniform Bail Schedule (established by the 7th Judicial Circuit under Administrative Order AO-2024-89). These amounts are the presumptive baseline used by booking officers at the county jail. A judge may adjust bail up or down at first appearance based on criminal history, flight risk, and the specifics of the offense.

How This Compares to State Averages
Because Volusia County falls within the more suburban/rural 7th Circuit, standard bond amounts are generally in line with or slightly below the Florida median. However, out-of-county residents arrested here may face higher scrutiny regarding flight risk.
How to Read This Bail Schedule
The Standard Bail column shows what the booking officer sets when someone is arrested. This is the amount listed in the Volusia County standard bond schedule. The person can post this amount immediately without waiting to see a judge.
The Bond Fee (10%) column shows what you actually pay out of pocket when you use a bail bondsman. This is your real cost. That fee goes to the bondsman for their service — it's set by Florida law and it's the same everywhere in the state.
"Judge Only" means there's no standard bail for that charge. The defendant has to wait for a first appearance hearing (usually within 24 hours) where a judge decides whether to grant bail and how much.
Can Bail Be Reduced?
Yes. If the standard bail is too high, your attorney can file a motion to reduce bail. The judge will consider:
- Your criminal history (first-timers usually get lower bail)
- Community ties — do you live and work in Volusia County?
- Flight risk — are you likely to skip town?
- The severity of the charge
- Your financial situation
Bail reductions are common. If you can't afford the scheduled amount, don't give up — talk to a lawyer about getting it lowered.
