How Is Bail Posted at the Tuolumne County Jail?
A licensed bail agent posts the bail bond with the jail, and the jail then processes the release. For many charges, bail comes from the county bail schedule, so a bond can be posted soon after booking. For others, a judge sets bail. A person held in custody must be taken before a judge within 48 hours of arrest, not counting Sundays and holidays (California Penal Code 825).
In California, bail bond premiums are regulated by state law. The standard rate is 10% of the bail amount. Each insurance company files its rate with the California Department of Insurance, and its agents charge that filed rate.
Call us any hour. We confirm the booking and the bail amount with you and start the paperwork in English or Spanish.
Turning Yourself In on a Warrant
For a bench warrant, the court says you surrender yourself to the jail for processing on the warrant. Call us before you go, so the bond is ready when you are booked. Our Tuolumne County warrant check page explains how to look first.
