Wake County Bail Bonds
Need help getting someone out of jail in Wake County?
Kat Bail Bonds can help you understand the bond, what it may cost, and what needs to happen before release. Our licensed bail bond agents are available 24 hours a day. You don't need to have all the answers before calling.
What Do I Need Before Calling?
If someone you care about has been arrested, start with these three things.
1. Their full name
Their date of birth also helps, if you know it.
2. Where they're being held
Tell us which jail they're in. If you're not sure, share what you know about the arrest.
3. The bond amount, if set
If you know the amount, have it ready. If not, that's okay.
Do you know the bond amount?
Have the amount ready when you call. We'll explain the cost, any requirements, and what happens next.
You can still call. Tell us the person's name and what you know about the arrest. We'll explain what information you may need next.
How Does the Bail Bond Process Work?
Once a judge or magistrate sets the release conditions, we can review whether a bail bond is an option. Here's how the process generally works.

The jail handles release
Once the bond is accepted and all release conditions are met, the jail completes its processing. Release times vary, so we can't promise an exact time.
Wake County Detention Center
3301 Hammond Road, Raleigh, NC
The Wake County Detention Center is one of the facilities where people may be held after an arrest.
Wake County has more than one detention location. Be sure to confirm where your loved one is being held before making plans to pick them up.
If a bond has been set, we can explain the steps available for that bond and what may be needed to move forward.
This is the detention center's address, not the Kat Bail Bonds business address.
Kat Bail Bonds helps families across Wake County, including Cary, Apex, Garner, Wake Forest, and nearby communities.
How Much Does a Bail Bond Cost in Wake County?
The court sets the bond amount. When a bail bond agent can post the bond, the agent charges a fee called a premium. In North Carolina, that fee cannot exceed 15% of the bond amount. This is the legal maximum, not a quote for every bond. Other requirements, such as collateral, may apply. We'll explain the cost and terms before you sign.
Payment Options
We explain the fee and any payment options that may be available before you move forward.

Sometimes. A cosigner agrees to take on certain legal and financial responsibilities for the bond. Before signing, make sure you understand what you're agreeing to and what could happen if the person misses court.

Can a bondsman help with every type of bond?
No. The court decides the release conditions. A bail bond agent can help only when the type of bond and other requirements allow it.
What if my loved one is being held at another Wake County facility?
Tell us where they're being held, if you know. Wake County uses more than one detention location, so it's important to confirm the facility and bond details.
What happens if someone misses a court date?
Missing court can put the bond at risk and may lead to further court action. The person released must follow all court dates and release conditions.
