This rate is not negotiable and applies to all licensed agents statewide. - The 10% premium is a non-refundable service fee, regardless of case outcome. - Bail amounts are set by a judge or per the county bail schedule. Judges may increase or decrease bail at arraignment. - The co-signer (indemnitor) is responsible for ensuring the defendant appears at all court dates. If the defendant fails to appear, the bond may be forfeited and a bench warrant is issued. - California does not allow bail bond rebates or discounts below the 10% statutory rate. - Defendants held on no-bail holds (capital offenses, certain violent felonies, immigration holds) cannot be bailed out by a bond agent. ## Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is the bail bond fee in California?
