A Property Bond is a piece of property owned by you or your co-signor typically worth 150% - 200% of the total bail bond and is posted to guarantee that the defendant will return to court to stand trial.
How Surety Bonds Work
A surety bond is typically used when bonding companies are prohibited in certain jurisdictions. With a surety bond, a percentage of the total bond is paid directly to the court.
How Released on Recognizance Works
When released on your own recognizance you basically pay nothing and promise to return to court for all of your hearings

Typically, a percentage of the bond is paid to the bail bond company as a fee, which in turn they post an insurance certificate (bond) to the courts promising that you will return for trial or sentencing. This fee can be as high as 20% of the bond amount.
