One Statute, Many Cases

Bail bond pricing is the same by law across every charge in California. What changes is the paperwork, the speed, and how the case routes through the courthouse.

Every bail bond in California is governed by the same statute (Insurance Code § 1800.4) regardless of charge. The 10% premium applies to misdemeanors, felonies, DUIs, domestic violence cases, and drug charges alike. Federal and immigration bonds run on different rules — federal premiums are typically 15%, and immigration bonds post directly with ICE.

What changes between service types is not the price. It is the paperwork, the timing, and the courthouse calendar. A DUI case routes differently from a felony narcotics case. A domestic violence arrest carries Emergency Protective Order conditions that shape release. A federal case requires additional collateral and federal-court approval. Knowing the difference is what makes the bond post on the first try.

We have been licensed in California since 1956 and have posted bonds across every category on this page. There is no service type listed here that we have not handled hundreds of times.

The Statutes Behind Every Service Type

Bail bond pricing and procedure in California is regulated. Federal bonds follow separate federal pretrial statutes.

Cal. Ins. Code § 1800.4

The 10% Premium Is Statutory

California sets the bail bond premium between 8% and 10% of the total bond — across every service type. A bondsman charging less without a filed rate plan is operating outside the law.

AB 391 (effective 2024)

Written Disclosure Is Required

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.

Federal: 18 U.S.C. § 3142

Federal Bonds Are Different

Federal bail uses pretrial release statutes, not state schedules. Premium is 15%, additional collateral is typical, and approval routes through federal court.
