The Mobile County Sheriff recommends that you use a bail bond agent licensed to do business in Mobile County.

• You can pay a cash bond yourself, or use your home in Mobile County, or in some cases the state of Alabama, but the benefit of using a bail bond agent is that they take responsibility for making sure the inmate shows up for court in Mobile County, and if they don't, then they take the financial responsibility.
• The typical fee for a bond will be between 10-20% of the bail amount; usually 15%.  So if an offender has a bail of $10,000.00, their bond will be $1500.00.

Call 251-574-2423 to find out the exact bond (plus other fees) amount, or look it up online by looking up the information on the Mobile County inmate locator.
