The defendant is released from Volusia County Jail and must attend all court dates. If they do, the bond is released. If they don't, you may owe the full amount.

What Happens If the Defendant Doesn't Show Up?

If the defendant fails to appear in court (FTA), the court issues a bench warrant and the bond is forfeited. The bail bond agent — and the person who signed the bond (cosigner) — may be responsible for the full bail amount. The agent may use a fugitive recovery specialist to locate the defendant.

How Long Does Release Take?

After the bond is posted at Volusia County Jail, release typically takes 4-16 hours depending on the facility's processing volume, time of day, and staffing.

The Volusia County Court System

Bail in Volusia County is determined by the Volusia County Circuit Court. First appearances typically happen at the Daytona Beach courthouse within 24 hours of arrest. For standard charges, Volusia County follows Florida's standard bail schedule. For more serious offenses, a judge sets bail individually.
