How California Bail Law Works
The law is the same across California — what changes county to county is the bail schedule itself and which courthouse hears the case.
PC §1269b — the county bail schedule
Every California county publishes its own bail schedule, adopted annually by the superior court judges of that county. That is why the same charge can bail out at one number in Los Angeles and a different number in Fresno — the statute is statewide, the dollar figures are local.
Read Penal Code §1269bPC §1270.1 — when a judge has to set bail
For certain serious and violent felonies, and for domestic violence and stalking allegations, no one can be released on the schedule alone. A judge has to hold a hearing before bail is set or release is granted, which usually means waiting for the next court day.
Read Penal Code §1270.1Ins. Code §1800 — the 10% premium
Bail premiums in California are regulated insurance rates filed with the Department of Insurance, and they typically run 10% of the face amount of the bond. No licensed agent in any county can lawfully undercut a filed rate — what changes is the down payment and the plan, not the premium.
Read Insurance Code §1800Art. I §12 and In re Humphrey (2021)
The California Constitution makes most offenses bailable and defines the narrow situations where bail can be denied. In re Humphrey then held that a court cannot set bail at an amount the person plainly cannot afford without considering ability to pay and less restrictive alternatives.
Read In re HumphreyGeneral information about California law, not legal advice. California Constitution, Article I, §12 sets out when bail may be denied.
What Bail Costs Statewide
This is the statewide baseline. The premium is the same anywhere in California; the bail amount it is calculated from comes from the county's own bail schedule, which is why each county page refines these numbers locally.
| Bail amount | 10% premium | As low as 1% down |
|---|---|---|
| $1,500 | $150 | $15 |
| $5,000 | $500 | $50 |
| $10,000 | $1,000 | $100 |
| $25,000 | $2,500 | $250 |
| $50,000 | $5,000 | $500 |
| $100,000 | $10,000 | $1,000 |
The 1% column is the down payment for approved applicants with a qualifying cosigner, not the total cost — the balance of the 10% premium is financed on a written, interest-free plan. Amounts shown are examples, not a quote.
