What are bail bond appraisals?

Bail bonds can be used to temporarily release people from law enforcement custody, and they can be "purchased" with cash or other assets — like a house. Before a home or property can be used for bail bond, the court has to make sure that it's worth more than the amount of the bond. A licensed appraiser can perform a bail bond appraisal to estimate the value of your home so that it can be used as a bail bond. Using your home or property in place of money for a bail bond is known as a property bond.

When would I require a bail bond appraisal?

A bail bond appraisal must be performed if you want to put your property up for collateral. This is a good alternative if someone close to you is incarcerated and you are unable to put down cash or other assets as collateral to release them from custody.

How do bail bond appraisals work?

A bail bond appraisal is similar to other appraisals — an appraiser performs the inspection of a property, then writes a report explaining how they determined the value. Every appraiser at Mike Chaves Appraisals is licensed and regulated by the Appraisal Foundation, local to the Orange County area, ethical, experienced, and dedicated to using the latest technology — so when you request an appraisal, you can be confident that it's not just quick, but also standardized and very accurate.

But you don't just need a fast appraisal — you need an accurate appraisal, too. The ability to use your home as collateral relies on the value of the property — typically, it must be valued at or above 150% to 200% the cost of the bail bond. And at Mike Chaves Appraisals, we will work hard to ensure your appraisal is quick, but we will not skimp on the details that constitute a top-notch, accurate appraisal.
