R.S. 22:855(B)(2)(b)

The policy fee collected by the agent under this subsection shall not exceed

12% BAIL BOND PREMIUM FEE
R.S. 22:1443

The premium rate set for commercial surety underwriting criminal bail bonds
in the various courts throughout the state of Louisiana shall not be subject to

writing criminal bail bonds in the state of Louisiana shall be twelve percent of
the face amount of the bond, or sixty dollars, whichever is greater.  The fee
on premium as provided for by R.S. 13:718(I)(2) shall be exclusive of the limit
set by this Section.  All other provisions of the code relating to enforcement of
the rate shall be effective and enforced in accordance with all parts of this
section.

½% FEE IN JEFFERSON PARISH ONLY
R.S. 13:718(I)(2)(a)

Notwithstanding the provisions of R.S. 22:1065.1 and 1404.3, and in addition
to the fee imposed by those sections, there is hereby imposed a fee on
premium for all commercial surety underwriters who write criminal bail bonds
in Jefferson Parish.  The fee shall be equal to fifty dollars for each ten
thousand dollars worth of liability underwritten by the surety.

13% BAIL BOND PREMIUM FEE in the city of New Orleans ONLY
R.S. 22:822

In the parish of Orleans, the fee shall be equal to three dollars for each one
hundred dollars worth of liability underwritten by the commercial surety.  This
shall be the exclusive fee or tax on any criminal bail bond premium, including
thereto premium taxes owed.  In furtherance of the payment of this premium
fee, all commercial surety underwriters underwriting criminal bail bonds in the
parish of Orleans shall, upon submitting the appearance bond and their
power of attorney, simultaneously pay to the sheriff a fee of five dollars for
each one hundred dollars worth of liability on the bail bond being presented
for the release of a person on bail.  

$15.00 JAIL FEE
R.S. 33:1432(9)

The compensation, fees and costs allowed sheriffs, the parish of Orleans
excepted, for all services in criminal matters, shall be the following:  

For taking appearance bond when required to do so, fifteen dollars, unless
suspended by a judge of the district court of the parish.  A judge of the
district court of the parish shall waive this fee if a defendant has been tried
and found not guilty or if the charges against the defendant are dismissed.

$15.00 JAIL FEE
R.S. 15:85.1(A)(C) – ACT 942 (2003)

There shall be a fee in the amount of fifteen dollars assessed in connection
with the issuance of every criminal bond posted within each parish.  The fee
shall be collected by the sheriff of each parish from every person seeking
release by mean of a criminal bond, or their designated representative.

Any person who claims to be incapable of paying the fee to secure his
release from jail may petition the district court for a waiver or refund of the fee
assessed pursuant to the provisions of this section.

Any person found not guilty or any person against whom criminal charges are
brought and thereafter dismissed may petition the district court for a refund of
the fee assessed pursuant to the provisions of this section.  

SURRENDER FOR NON-PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS
R.S. 22:1585 – ACT 119 (2003)

Before a breach of an undertaking occurs, a surety or bail bond producer
may surrender a defendant, or the defendant may surrender himself, to the
official to whose custody the defendant was committed at the time the bail
was given.  The defendant may be surrendered without a return of the
premium if he changes addresses without notifying his bail bond producer or
surety, conceals himself, leaves the jurisdiction of the court without the
permission of his bail bond producer or surety, fails to appear in any court at
any time, or if the indemnitor seeks to relieve himself of his obligation on the
bond.  A bail bond producer shall not surrender a client for non-payment of
premium until thirty days after the date the bond is posted.
