Questions about bail bond cost in Maricopa County

Straight answers for families in Phoenix and the rest of Maricopa County. For a bond outside this county, call and ask.

How much is a bail bond premium in Maricopa County?

The Bail Barn quotes 10% of the bail amount, with a $150 minimum. That estimate is the premium only. Additional fees may apply. Arizona law does not set one statewide percentage. A bail agent may charge the premium only at the rate the surety insurer filed and the director of the Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions approved (Arizona Revised Statutes § 20-340.03). Call (623) 428-2276 for the exact total.

Do I have to pay the full bail amount?

With a surety bond, you pay the premium and a licensed agent posts the bail with the court. You do not pay the full bail amount to the jail. The premium is not necessarily the full amount you pay The Bail Barn. Additional fees may apply. Some cases use cash bail paid to the court instead. Call (623) 428-2276 for the exact total.

Is the premium refunded if the case is dismissed?

No. The premium is the fee for the bond, and it is non-refundable, including when charges are dropped. If collateral was held, it is returned once the bond is exonerated.

What should I have ready before I call about someone in a Maricopa County jail?

The person's full legal name and date of birth, the jail or the city of the arrest, and the booking or case number if you have it. It helps to know who can co-sign and how you will pay. If you are missing something, call anyway. We answer 24 hours a day.

How long does release take after a bond is posted in Maricopa County?

A defendant generally sees a judge for an initial appearance within 24 hours of booking. After the bond is posted, the jail controls when the person is released. Timing varies by facility and is typically measured in hours, not minutes.

Can you start a bond at night anywhere in Maricopa County?

Yes. The Bail Barn is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays, for Phoenix and the rest of Maricopa County. Call (623) 428-2276.
