A bail bond is an insurance policy purchased to guarantee the appearance of a defendant in court. Once the defendant has been sentenced, the trial is over and any bail bonds are generally "exonerated" by the court, meaning that the insurance company is no longer responsible for guaranteeing the defendant's appearance. The only reason to get a bail bond after sentencing would be if the case was on appeal, and the defendant was trying to stay out of jail while the appeal is pending.
That said, if you still owe the bail bondsman money, by all means YES! You need to pay the bondsman's fee (called the premium).

Can a bail bondsman revoke your bond after you have been sentenced?
Yes. He put his moneyup for you, didn't he? In simple terms you 'rented' his money for your cash bond, for which he is entitled to payment for the length of time he had it 'at risk.'
Is bail money returned when the accused turns up for trial?
if you use a bail bondsman no, if you posted the Full bail amount you will get your money back after the defendant is completed with all the court dates and when he is finally sentenced. The bond will be exonerated. no exon, no return of money.

When is bail to be returned?
In most states a bail bond could be released in several ways. The most common way that a bond is released is post sentencing. Once the defendant is sentenced the judge will order the bond exonerated in open court. The other not so common ways are as follows: 1.) The bond could be released if the defendant is arrested on the case in the same county. 2.) The court increases the bond amount. 3.) The defendant is deceased. 4.) The bond agency files a motion to exonerate the bond. These avenues for a release of bond are not the only options but are the most common.
Is the person who hires a bail bondsman responsible for the whole bail amount if the defendant fails their obligation?
When a Bail Bond Company writes a bond, they are responsible for the bond amount if the defendant fails to appear. The indemnitor (person who gives collateral for the bond) is responsible to the extent that they will lose whatever they gave the bondsman for collateral if the bond is forfeited. That is why bond agencies try to find the defendant and bring him to jail before the bond forfeiture hearing, so they do not have to pay the courts the amount of the bond. Bond companies pay the courts in CASH regardless of what type of collateral was used for the bond.
What is the purpose of paying bail without using a bail bondsman?
When you use a bondsman to pay, say $10,000 bail, he usually charges 10%. You pay $1,000 to him. He then pays the court $10,000 (your bail). When you return to court and get convicted/released he gets his $10,000 back. He made $1,000. If you pay the $10,000 bond, you get the $10,000 back. Thus saving you the 10% (minus any court costs/fines). So if you can afford it, pay the bond yourself, it's cheaper.
