Why Sun City Families Call One Stop Bail Bonds
Sun City is an unincorporated retirement community patrolled by the Sheriff's Office. Because the Sheriff's Office patrols the area, cases go to a justice court rather than a city court, and arrestees go straight to county booking. Our agents know the difference and act on it.

Arizona bail bond premiums are set by the surety company's rate filing with the Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions. The standard rate is 10% of the bail amount, so a $5,000 bail costs about $500 and a $20,000 bail costs about $2,000. The premium is our fee for posting the full bail and is not refunded when the case ends. Arizona law does not allow a bail agent to charge interest on the premium, and we never add night, weekend or holiday surcharges.
On very small bonds, surety schedules set a minimum premium. If paying the full cash bond yourself would cost you less, we will say so. For larger bonds we may ask for collateral or a qualified cosigner, and every requirement is disclosed in writing before you commit. Use our bail bond calculator to estimate the premium, or read about payment plans and collateral.
