At the initial appearance, the judicial officer sets release conditions under A.R.S. 13-3967 based on the nature and circumstances of the offense, the weight of the evidence, criminal history, history of appearing in court, employment, family and community ties, and the views of any victim. In practice that means misdemeanors often produce own-recognizance release or small bonds, felonies produce bonds in the thousands to tens of thousands, and serious violent or large drug cases produce bonds that require collateral.
Some arrests carry special rules. Domestic violence arrestees must be held for an initial appearance. Probation violations frequently come with a no-bond hold. Certain offenses are not bailable at all under A.R.S. 13-3961. And a court can order a cash-only bond that no surety can post. Our pages explain each situation honestly, and so do our agents.
What a Bail Bond Costs in Arizona
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.

Common Questions
How much does a bail bond cost in Phoenix?
Arizona bail bond premiums are set by the surety company's rates filed with the Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions, typically 10% of the bail amount. A $5,000 bail costs about $500; a $25,000 bail costs about $2,500. Surety schedules set a minimum premium on very small bonds. Licensed agents cannot charge interest on the premium, and we disclose every fee before you sign.
How do bail bonds work in Arizona?
After an arrest in Arizona, a judicial officer sets release conditions at the initial appearance within 24 hours. If a secured appearance bond is set, you can pay the full amount in cash to the court, or hire a licensed bail bond agent. The agent charges a premium set by filed surety rates, typically 10% of the bail, posts the full bond with the court, and the person is released. The premium is the agent's fee and is not refunded; a cash bond paid directly to the court is refunded if the person appears at every hearing.
What is the difference between a cash bond and a surety bond?
A cash bond is the full bail amount paid to the court by the defendant or a family member and refunded at the end of the case if the defendant appears. A surety bond is posted by a licensed bail bond agent for a premium, typically 10% of bail, which is not refunded. Surety bonds let families secure release without producing the full amount.
