How Bail Is Set: the El Dorado County Bail Schedule
The El Dorado County Superior Court adopts a countywide bail schedule each year under Penal Code section 1269b. It sets the starting bail amount for a person arrested without a warrant. If a warrant was issued, the judge usually sets the amount on the warrant. DUI bail depends on the charge, prior offenses and whether anyone was hurt. 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 El Dorado County Superior Court and our El Dorado County bail schedule guide.
What a Placerville 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 $25,000 bail would be $2,500, as an illustration, not a quote. Premiums are nonrefundable even if charges are dropped. 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. 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 can become the cosigner's responsibility. 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 Placerville
- Look the agent up on the California Department of Insurance bail licensee lookup.
