Every charge, every bond type, every court in the county
Cherokee Bail Bonds is a full-service bail bond company operating out of Canton, Georgia, and listed on the Cherokee County Sheriff’s approved bonding company list. We write bonds for every charge the Adult Detention Center books, from a Monday-morning suspended licence out of Woodstock Municipal Court to a Superior Court felony at 90 North Street.
Georgia caps our fee at 15% of the bond, minimum $50 per bonded charge, under O.C.G.A. § 17-6-30. Nobody may legally charge more. What separates bonding companies is not price — it is whether they tell you the truth about what is possible, and whether they answer the phone at 3 a.m.
Choose the charge
Felony Bail Bonds
Felonies are Superior Court cases in Cherokee County, and the most serious ones can only be bonded by a Superior Court judge. We know the difference and move fast.
Misdemeanor Bail Bonds
Most misdemeanors land in Cherokee County State Court or a city municipal court. These are usually the fastest releases we write.
DUI Bail Bonds
DUI is a bail restricted offense in Georgia, so a secured bond is required. We handle first offenses and repeat charges out of the Cherokee County ADC.
Domestic Violence Bonds
Family violence cases carry mandatory no-contact conditions. We explain exactly what your loved one can and cannot do after release.
Drug Charge Bail Bonds
Possession, sale and trafficking charges are treated very differently under Georgia law. Some require a Superior Court judge before any bond is set.
Probation Violation Bonds
Probation violations often start with no bond at all. We tell you honestly whether a bond is possible and what has to happen first.
Warrant Walk-Through Bonds
If there is a warrant out, you can often turn yourself in with a bond already arranged and be back out in a fraction of the time.
Failure to Appear & Bench Warrants
Missing court in Georgia means a bench warrant and a forfeited bond. There is a legal window to fix it, and it closes fast.
Theft & Shoplifting Bonds
Theft by taking, shoplifting and financial card charges range from misdemeanor to felony depending on value and prior history.
Assault & Battery Bonds
Simple battery, simple assault, aggravated assault and aggravated battery are handled in different courts with very different bonds.
Traffic & Suspended License
Driving on a suspended license, reckless driving and fleeing charges can all put someone in the Cherokee County jail overnight.
Weapons Charge Bonds
Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession during a crime are bail restricted offenses that require a secured bond.
Out-of-County & Transfer Bonds
Arrested in Cherokee on a warrant from another county, or held elsewhere on a Cherokee warrant? We coordinate both ends.
Property Bonds
Cherokee County accepts property bonds with clear equity of twice the bond plus a $5,000 homestead exemption. We walk you through the paperwork.
Cash Bonds
Cash bonds are refundable at the end of the case but tie up the full amount. We explain when a cash bond is and is not the smart move.
What happens when you call us
You will speak to a licensed Georgia bondsman, not an answering service. We will ask for the full legal name and, if you have it, the charge and the bond amount. If you do not have those, we will find them.
Then we tell you the truth. Sometimes that is “we can have them out in a couple of hours.” Sometimes it is “that charge is bailable only before a Superior Court judge, and nothing can be posted until Monday.” We would rather lose the deposit than take money for a bond that legally cannot be written.
- A licensed agent answers, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
- We locate the person and confirm the charges and bond amounts
- We check for holds from other counties before you spend anything
- A co-signer signs in Canton, or remotely by email or fax
- We take the paperwork to 498 Chattin Drive — you do not have to
- We stay reachable through the whole case, not just the first night

Common questions about our bail bond services
Georgia law caps a professional surety premium at 15% of the face amount of the bond, with a minimum of $50 per bonded charge (O.C.G.A. § 17-6-30). That premium is non-refundable — it is what you pay the bonding company to post the full bond on your behalf. On a $10,000 bond that is $1,500. If you post a cash bond directly with the Sheriff instead, you pay the entire $10,000 plus a $20 non-refundable state bond fee, and the cash comes back at the end of the case.
It depends on where they are in the process. A person has to be fully booked before any bond can be posted, and a judge has to have set a bond amount. Cherokee County Magistrate Court operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year with seven part-time judges specifically so that every person booked into the Adult Detention Center gets a first appearance and a bail decision. Georgia law requires that hearing within 48 hours of a warrantless arrest or 72 hours of an arrest on a warrant. Once a bond is set and our paperwork is accepted at the jail, release comes down to the jail’s processing time. Call us and we will tell you honestly where things stand.
You will need valid government-issued photo identification, verifiable contact information, and enough stability that we can reach you and reach the defendant. As the co-signer (also called the indemnitor) you are guaranteeing that the defendant appears at every court date until the court exonerates the bond. You can sign in person at our Canton office, or by email or fax if you are out of town.
The judge forfeits the bond and issues a bench warrant, and under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 17-6-71, as amended effective July 1, 2024) the court sets an execution hearing not sooner than 150 days and not later than 180 days after the failure to appear. As the co-signer you become responsible for the full face amount of the bond if the defendant is never produced. Call us the moment you know there is a problem — the statute contains remission provisions, but they are time-limited and they reward moving fast.
Not always, and any bondsman who tells you otherwise is not being straight with you. Under O.C.G.A. § 17-6-1, offenses including murder, rape, armed robbery, aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, home invasion in the first degree, drug trafficking and criminal street gang offenses are bailable only before a judge of the Superior Court. Probation violations frequently carry no bond at all until a judge acts. We will look at the charge and tell you exactly what is possible.
Talk to us. The 15% premium is set by statute and cannot be discounted below the statutory minimum, but how you pay it is a conversation worth having. Bring what you have and we will work with you.
