Bail Bonds by Charge — Placer County Bail Schedule

Every criminal charge in California has a corresponding bail amount set by the county's bail schedule. The Placer County Superior Court publishes its bail schedule annually, and bail amounts vary significantly depending on the charge, whether it is a misdemeanor or felony, and whether aggravating factors are present.

All bail amounts listed above are approximate ranges based on the Placer County Superior Court bail schedule. Actual bail may differ based on the specific circumstances of the case, the defendant's criminal history, and whether a judge modifies bail at arraignment. A judge can increase or decrease bail, add conditions of release, or in some cases deny bail entirely.

The bail bond premium is always 10 percent of the total bail amount, set by the California Department of Insurance. This rate is the same at every licensed bail bond company in California.

Q: Can bail be different from the schedule amount?

A: Yes. A judge can raise or lower bail at arraignment based on the defendant's history, flight risk, and the facts of the case.

Q: What if the person has multiple charges?

A: Bail is typically set for each charge and added together. A person charged with DUI and hit-and-run will have bail for both charges combined.

Q: Can bail be reduced after it is set?

A: A defense attorney can request a bail reduction hearing. The judge considers community ties, employment, criminal history, and charge severity.

Q: What charges have no bail?

A: Certain serious felonies — including murder and some sex offenses — may be held without bail. The judge makes this determination at arraignment.
