How Bail Is Set: the Sutter County Bail Schedule

The Sutter County Superior Court publishes a felony and misdemeanor bail schedule each year. It sets the starting amount for a person arrested without a warrant. The schedule is adopted under Penal Code section 1269b and applies to a warrantless arrest. With several charges, the schedule uses the amount for the most serious one. For example, in the 2026 misdemeanor schedule, presumptive bail for a first DUI (Vehicle Code 23152) is $1,801, and $11,000 with one or more priors. The court also attaches the Uniform Bail and Penalty Schedule for other violations. After the first court appearance, a judge can set bail higher or lower. Check the current schedule before you rely on any number. See the Sutter County bail schedules and our Yuba County bail schedule guide for the Marysville side of the river.

What a Yuba City Bail Bond Costs

A bail bond premium is the charge for the bond. It is a small portion of the full bail amount, not the whole thing. The California Department of Insurance says premiums are most commonly 10%. A 10% premium on a $30,000 bail would be $3,000, as an illustration, not a quote. Premiums are nonrefundable even if charges are dropped. You could pay the full bail payment to the court yourself, but many families use a bond instead. Bail bond payments can be made by major credit card, cash or money order, with payment plans available. On a payment plan, the down payment can be as little as 10% of the premium, and the rest is paid on a schedule set in your agreement. Collateral or liens are released after the bond is cleared.

Ask for these in writing before you sign:

• The bond premium and how it was figured
• The initial payment and the payment schedule
• Any collateral required
• What you could owe if a court date is missed

What Cosigners Agree To

The cosigner, also called the indemnitor, signs the bail bond agreement and promises the person will go to every court date. If they miss court, the full bond amount owed to the court can become the cosigner's responsibility. On a payment plan, the remaining amount of the bond premium is still due after the case ends. Read every page. Ask questions.

A missed court date can lead to bail forfeiture and a new failure to appear charge. According to the California Department of Insurance, the County Counsel's Office in each county collects bail bond forfeiture debts.

How to Pick a Bail Bondsman in Yuba City

Before you sign, check the agent and the terms. Use this checklist:

• Look the agent up on the California Department of Insurance bail licensee lookup.
• Get the premium and payment terms in writing.
• Ask what collateral is required and when it is returned.
• Ask what happens after a failure to appear.
• Be wary of anyone who guarantees a release time.

Bail enforcement agents, also called bail fugitive recovery persons or bounty hunters, are not police. California licenses them through the Department of Insurance and requires liability insurance.
