How do bail bonds work in Minnehaha County, SD?

South Dakota bail bondsmen can bail you (or another person) out anytime anywhere in South Dakota. Before using a bail bondsman, you should know all bail options in South Dakota in order to be released from jail.

Bail bondsmen will fall under surety, or bail bonds, which typically cost you around 10% of the total bail amount. You cannot get this 10% fee back in South Dakota, no matter if you are guilty or not. It's the cost of using a bail bondsman and the risk they take. Using the service of a bail bondsman typically requires collateral and someone to co-sign on the bail bond.

To avoid the 10% fee, you have 3 other options in South Dakota. You can 1) pay in cash but you have to pay the entire bail amount; 2) the jail can release you on Own Recognizance (OR) which is typically used on smaller crimes committed and the judge finds you low risk and has strong confidence that you will show up to court; or 3) you can be released from jail in South Dakota by using a Property Bond. You will need personal property or land/home value that's equal or greater than the bail amount. If you don't show up to court or violate your release terms, the South Dakota court will issue a warrant for your arrest and can take over your property.

Knowing your bail options helps you better understand how bail bonds work in South Dakota. Upon arrest anywhere in the state of South Dakota, a person is usually processed at the local county jail. In order to be released from jail, several steps must occur, including being 'booked in' and posting bail - the process of booking in typically consists of getting your mugshot and fingerprints taken, and having your arrest details inputted into the system.

When the bail amount is confirmed, a bail bond agent arrives to post the bail bond at the local jail. At this time the jail release process begins and typically takes anywhere from one to two hours to complete. Although cash bonds are permitted, it is normally not a common practice due to financial limitations.

We highly recommend reading of our complete guide on how bail bonds work to learn more about the bail process. If you are attempting to bail someone out from another state, you can talk with your local bondsman - that's the bondman in your county, and not the state where the person is detained.

How much does a bail bond cost in Minnehaha County, SD?


South Dakota bail bonds don't have a set minimum or maximum cost structure, however bondsmen must comply with the rules set by the SD Department of Regulation which ensures fairness and access to bail. When you call a bail bondsman, you will need to ask what their premium fee is for the bail bond. The bail bond fee will likely be in the range of 10%, but your criminal history, flight risk, and crime committed could all play a role in the percentage that is charged by the bondsman.

Be sure to take everything into account when choosing your bail bondsman in South Dakota. It's possible that one bondman may charge you 10% for the bail bond but will put in place a lot of rules upon release. They may add contractual rules outside of bail bond fees, for example, requirements on tracking devices, check-ins, travel rules outside of the state of South Dakota and drug or alcohol tests. While you may save 5% on your bail bond fee vs another bondsman, is the 5% bond discount worth it to you considering the extra stipulations? They are not direct money costs, but they do take up your time from school and work and increase your risk of not meeting your release obligations.

We recommend reading our guide on how much bail costs for a deep dive into fees bondsmen charge. It's also critical to understand that you do not get bail money back, specifically the 10% bail fee back from the bondsman.
