Add or remove a bond

A defendant held on more than one case needs a bond for each one, but it's still one job: one defendant, one jail, one set of co-signers and one payment. So you add each extra bond to the same posting instead of creating a new posting.

Before you startCopy Anchor Link

• You can edit the posting. Only the posting's assigned agent or an admin sees Add bond and Remove.
• The posting is Reviewing. Bonds can only be added or removed while the status is Reviewing. After you approve, or once you've asked the co-signer for information, the list of bonds is fixed, and there's no way back to Reviewing. If a bond turns out to be missing after that, close the posting and create a new one. See Close or reopen a posting.
• To remove a bond, the posting needs at least two. A posting always keeps at least one bond, so Remove is hidden when there's only one.

• The bond gets its own bond number and a new card under Bonds.
• It's billed at your agency's default premium rate. The Payment card adds a row for it, and the premium total and amount due update. You can change its rate before you approve. See Price and approve a posting.
• Its paperwork is generated. Each bond gets its own copy of every document, so new documents appear on the Documents card.
• Nobody is notified.
