California sets the bond premium at 10% of bail. We explain the premium, any co-signer or collateral needs, and the paperwork before you sign.
Some clients, such as those with a private attorney of record, may qualify for a reduced rate allowed under California rules. Ask us what applies to your case.
Payment plans may be available for qualified co-signers, on approved credit. Terms depend on the bail amount and the people signing.
Bail bond rates in California are filed with the Department of Insurance, and the premium is generally 10% of bail. A lower advertised number is usually a down payment, not the premium.
Example payment-plan deposits
These are payment-plan deposits, not premium reductions. California law requires the 10% bail bond premium; what varies is how much cash you bring today and how you spread the rest. Plans depend on approval; call to ask what may be available.

OC Central Men's Jail at 550 N Flower St handles initial bookings for the entire county. Female intake also processes at OC Central before transfer. Release time depends on the jail's processing and is often a few hours after the bond is posted; busy times such as weekend nights can take longer. Musick Facility in Irvine for lower-level custody. Because classification can change mid-shift, we frequently pre-stage paperwork for both facilities and post at whichever one confirms custody first — so nobody's bond gets stuck at the wrong window.
In-custody arraignments for Santa Ana, Anaheim, Garden Grove, Tustin, Orange, Fountain Valley, Costa Mesa, and most central OC cities happen at the Central Justice Center at 700 Civic Center Dr W in Santa Ana, typically within 48 court hours of booking. West OC cases (Westminster, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach) route to the West Justice Center in Westminster. Once we post your bond we automatically calendar every court date, send reminders 72 hours out, and coordinate directly with your defense attorney or the Orange County Public Defender.
Orange County publishes its own annual felony bail schedule — one of the more predictable in California. Typical Santa Ana bail amounts: misdemeanor DUI $2,500–$5,000; domestic violence PC 273.5 $50,000; DUI with injury VC 23153 $100,000; possession for sale HS 11351 $30,000; assault with a deadly weapon PC 245 $30,000–$100,000; residential burglary $50,000. California caps the bail bond premium at 10% by statute (CA Ins. Code §1800), so a $25,000 bond costs $2,500 and a $50,000 bond costs $5,000. Any Santa Ana bondsman quoting less than 10% is breaking state law. Flexible payment plans are available — ask for details.
Release time depends on the jail's processing and is often a few hours after the bond is posted; busy times such as weekend nights can take longer. Weekday mornings are fastest; Friday and Saturday nights are the slowest because OC Central processes bookings from every police department in the county — Santa Ana PD, Anaheim PD, Garden Grove PD, Tustin PD, Orange PD, Fullerton PD, Costa Mesa PD, and the OC Sheriff. If your loved one has a PC 1275 hold, an ICE detainer, a probation or parole hold, or a warrant from another county, the bond alone won't release them. We'll tell you that upfront — no wasted premium.

Santa Ana is the county seat of Orange County, and the Orange County Sheriff's Department (OCSD) runs its main downtown jails here. The Central Men's Jail, the Central Women's Jail and the Intake Release Center (IRC) share one address: 550 N Flower St, Santa Ana, CA 92703.
According to OCSD, bail bonds are accepted at the IRC 24 hours a day, and also at the Theo Lacy Facility, 501 The City Drive South, Orange, CA 92868. OCSD does not recommend any particular bail agent — choosing a bondsman is up to the family.
Some arrests by the Santa Ana Police Department are first held at the Santa Ana City Jail, 62 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701. If you aren't sure whether someone is at the city jail or in sheriff's custody, give us the name and date of birth and we will help you check.
Many Orange County criminal cases are heard at the Central Justice Center of the Orange County Superior Court, 700 Civic Center Drive West, Santa Ana, CA 92701. It is in the Civic Center area, close to our office at 600 W Santa Ana Blvd #710, which makes it convenient to meet before or after a court date.
After an arrest, the person is booked — identification, fingerprints, a records check and property intake. Bail is then set, either from the Orange County bail schedule for the charge or by a judge, who may change the amount or attach conditions. When a bail amount is in place, a bond can be posted at the IRC or Theo Lacy. The jail then completes its own release process.
That final processing is controlled by the jail, and its length depends on factors like booking volume, holds and court orders. We won't quote a release time we can't control, but we will keep you informed.

California regulates bail bond premiums, and the premium is typically 10% of the bail amount. It is a non-refundable fee for the bond. For larger bonds we may ask for a co-signer, and sometimes collateral, based on the amount and the circumstances. Payment plans and 0% down are offered on approved credit (OAC); approval depends on the situation and isn't guaranteed.
We can explain how the bond works, but we don't give legal advice. For questions about charges or defenses, speak with a criminal defense attorney.
