What Are Burglary Bail Bonds?
Burglary bail bonds are surety bonds that secure the release of someone charged with burglary in Connecticut. A licensed bail bondsman guarantees the full bail to the court for a state-regulated premium, and the defendant promises to attend every court date and follow all release conditions.
Because every burglary charge in Connecticut is a felony, bail is often higher than for misdemeanor arrests. Easy Bail Bonds LLC writes burglary bail bonds for every degree of the charge, and our agents explain the bond, the premium and any collateral before anyone signs.
Burglary Charges in Connecticut by Degree
Connecticut defines burglary in the Connecticut General Statutes, Chapter 952. In every degree, the person must enter or remain unlawfully in a building with intent to commit a crime inside. The degree depends on the type of building, the time of day, weapons and injuries.
Burglary in the First Degree
Class B felony · C.G.S. § 53a-101
Can involve being armed with explosives or a deadly weapon, injuring or trying to injure someone, or entering a dwelling at night. Some forms carry a five-year mandatory minimum sentence.
Maximum penalty: up to 20 years in prison and a $15,000 fine
Burglary in the Second Degree
Class C felony · C.G.S. § 53a-102
Generally involves unlawfully entering a dwelling at night or while another person is inside. A firearm version carries a one-year mandatory minimum.
Maximum penalty: up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine
Burglary in the Third Degree
Class D felony · C.G.S. § 53a-103
The least serious burglary charge: entering or remaining unlawfully in any building with intent to commit a crime there.
Maximum penalty: up to 5 years in prison and a $5,000 fine
Home Invasion
Class A felony · C.G.S. § 53a-100aa
Entering an occupied home and committing or attempting a violent felony, or being armed with a deadly weapon. It carries a mandatory minimum sentence.
Maximum penalty: up to 25 years in prison
Related charges include possession of burglar’s tools, a Class A misdemeanor, and criminal trespass, which ranges from a Class C to a Class A misdemeanor. We post burglary bail bonds for all of these offenses, including cases charged together with larceny and theft.
How Bail Is Set for a Burglary Arrest
Police set an initial bond after booking. If it is not posted, a judge reviews bail at arraignment, usually the next court day. For burglary bail bonds, courts commonly weigh:
- The degree of the charge and whether the building was a home
- Whether anyone was inside or was injured
- Any weapon, explosive or firearm involved
- The value of property taken or damaged
- Prior convictions and court history
- Ties to the community and risk of missing court
Burglary vs. Robbery, Larceny and Trespass
Families often confuse these charges. Burglary is about unlawfully entering or staying in a building with intent to commit a crime, even if nothing is taken. Larceny is the theft itself. Robbery is theft by force or threat of force against a person. Criminal trespass is entering without permission but without intent to commit another crime. A single arrest can include several of these charges, which can raise the total bail.
How Much Do Burglary Bail Bonds Cost?
The premium for burglary bail bonds follows state-approved rates overseen by the Connecticut Insurance Department: up to 10% of the first $5,000 of the bond and up to 7% of the amount above $5,000. Examples:
$5,000 bond
10% of the full bond
$25,000 bond
$500 + 7% of $20,000
$150,000 bond
$500 + 7% of $145,000
The premium is non-refundable. Large first degree and home invasion bonds may also require collateral or an additional co-signer, which we explain clearly before anything is signed.
How Burglary Bail Bonds Work: Step by Step

- 2. We confirm the bail. We verify the amount and any conditions with the police, court or jail.
- 3. Review the agreement. We explain the premium, any collateral and the co-signer’s role.
- 4. Sign and pay. Paperwork can be completed by phone, email or in person.

- 6. Release and court dates. We help you track every court date until the case closes.
Release Conditions After a Burglary Arrest
Judges often attach conditions to burglary bail bonds, especially when a home or a specific victim is involved. Common examples include:
- Stay-away orders for the home, business or property involved
- No-contact orders with the property owner or witnesses
- Curfews or limits on being out at night
- Check-ins with a bail commissioner or program
- Travel limits that restrict leaving the state
A defense attorney can ask the court to change conditions that are too strict. If a court date is ever missed, read about failure to appear bail bonds and call us immediately.

Burglary Bail Bonds FAQ
How much is bail for burglary in Connecticut?
There is no fixed amount. Bail depends on the degree of burglary, whether a home was involved, any weapon or injury, prior record and the risk of missing court. First degree and home invasion charges usually carry the highest bail.
How much do burglary bail bonds cost?
The premium follows state-approved rates: up to 10% of the first $5,000 and up to 7% of the amount above that. A $25,000 burglary bond, for example, has a premium of $1,900.
Is burglary always a felony in Connecticut?
Yes. Burglary in the first, second and third degree are all felonies. Related charges such as criminal trespass or possession of burglar’s tools are misdemeanors.
Does it count as burglary if nothing was stolen?
It can. Burglary requires unlawful entry or remaining in a building with intent to commit a crime inside. The crime does not have to be completed.
Can I get out of jail the same day after a burglary arrest?
Often, yes. If the police set a bond and it is posted at the station, release can happen within hours. Otherwise the judge sets bail at arraignment, usually the next court day.
Do you post bonds for home invasion?
Yes. Home invasion is a Class A felony and bail is often high. We explain any collateral or co-signer requirements before you sign.
What if the burglary charge comes with larceny or other charges?
We post one bond that covers the total bail set by the court for all charges in the case, and we explain how each charge affects the amount.
Will I get the premium back if the charges are dropped?
No. The premium is earned when the bond is posted and is not refunded, but any collateral is returned once the case closes.
Can the defendant go back to the property after release?
Not if the court issues a stay-away order. Every condition must be followed exactly to avoid a new arrest.
Do you provide burglary bail bonds outside Tolland County?
Yes. We post burglary bail bonds in all 8 Connecticut counties, from Hartford and New Haven to New London and Fairfield.
Can a burglary charge be reduced?
Charges are sometimes reduced, for example to criminal trespass, through negotiation. That is a question for a defense attorney, and the bond stays in place until the case closes.
What happens if the defendant misses court?
The judge can order the bond forfeited and issue a re-arrest warrant, and a separate failure to appear charge may be filed. Call us right away so we can help resolve it.
Can someone outside Connecticut co-sign a burglary bond?
Often, yes. Co-signers in other states can usually complete the agreement by phone and email if they meet the bond requirements.
How long does a burglary case take in Connecticut?
It varies. Some cases resolve in a few months, while serious felony cases can take a year or longer. The bond remains active until the case is closed.
Do you need collateral for burglary bail bonds?
Not always. Smaller bonds often need only the premium and a signed agreement. Larger felony bonds may require collateral, which we explain before signing.
Is my information confidential?
Yes. We share details only with the court and the people you approve.
Can a burglary charge lead to a protective order?
Yes, especially when a home was entered while someone was inside. The court may order the defendant to stay away from the property and the people who live there.
Does the value of stolen property affect burglary bail?
It can. Higher-value thefts often add larceny charges, and the total bail usually reflects every charge in the case.
How quickly can you post a burglary bond at night?
We answer 24/7. Once the bail is confirmed and the paperwork is signed, a licensed agent can post the bond at the station or court as soon as it can be accepted.
