The 10% Premium Is Statutory
California sets the bail bond premium between 8% and 10% of the total bond. A Covina bondsman charging less without a filed rate plan is operating outside the law — a regulatory violation, not a discount.

How Bail Works in Covina
Covina PD runs its own jail and cases route to the West Covina Courthouse next door — both shape how fast we can move on a release.
When someone is arrested in Covina, they are booked into the Covina Jail at Police Department headquarters on Citrus Avenue. CPD operates a Type I detention facility, which gives us a window to post bond before transfer to the LA County system.
Felony arraignments for Covina cases route to the West Covina Courthouse — the East District seat of Los Angeles Superior Court. It is one of the closest courthouses to Covina, which means we can coordinate releases directly against the East District calendar to keep custody time short.
California sets the bail bond premium at 10% by statute (Insurance Code §1800.4) — the same with every licensed Covina bondsman. What changes is speed, transparency, and how well we know CPD’s booking process and the East District calendar.

California Law
Bail bond pricing in California is statutory. The same rules apply at CPD, the West Covina Courthouse, and every LA County jail.
California sets the bail bond premium between 8% and 10% of the total bond. A Covina bondsman charging less without a filed rate plan is operating outside the law — a regulatory violation, not a discount.
California bail bond contracts must include a clear, written breakdown of the premium, finance charges, and indemnitor obligations. We send the full agreement before you sign — nothing buried, no surprise fees.
California voters rejected SB 10 in 2020, keeping the cash bail system in place statewide. The West Covina Courthouse still uses posted bail amounts — and a licensed bondsman remains the fastest path to release.
