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

How Bail Works in Fullerton
Fullerton PD runs its own jail, and the North Justice Center is two blocks away — local arraignment routing saves hours.
When someone is arrested in Fullerton, they are booked into the Fullerton Jail at Police Department headquarters on Commonwealth Avenue. FPD operates a Type I detention facility, which gives us a window to post bond before transfer to OC custody — either the Intake Release Center in Santa Ana or Theo Lacy in Orange.
Felony arraignments for Fullerton cases route to the North Justice Center on Berkeley Avenue — also in Fullerton, just a few blocks from FPD. Local arraignment routing is one of the fastest in OC: we coordinate releases against the North Justice Center calendar to keep your loved one out of Santa Ana custody whenever possible.
California sets the bail bond premium at 10% by statute (Insurance Code §1800.4) — the same with every licensed Fullerton bondsman. What changes is speed, transparency, and how well we know FPD and the North Justice Center calendar.

California Law
Bail bond pricing in California is statutory. The same rules apply at FPD, the North Justice Center, and every OC jail.
California sets the bail bond premium between 8% and 10% of the total bond. A Fullerton 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 North Justice Center still uses posted bail amounts — and a licensed bondsman remains the fastest path to release.
