An Idaho Appearance Bond is a type of surety bond required by the court in criminal cases in the state of Idaho. It guarantees that the defendant will appear in court when required and comply with the court's orders. The bond is posted by the defendant, and the surety (insurance company) is responsible for the defendant's legal fees if he/she fails to appear or follow court orders. There are two types of Idaho Appearance Bond: a cash bond and a property bond. In either case, the surety must guarantee the defendant's presence in court and the payment of any fines or court costs that may be assessed. The defendant must also provide a collateral to ensure the bond's payment. If the defendant does not appear in court or comply with the court's orders, the surety must pay the court the full amount of the bond.
