Bail amount vs. bail bond cost
A bail bond premium in California commonly equals 10% of the bond amount, according to the California Department of Insurance. At that example rate, a $50,000 bond would have a $5,000 premium. The actual quote depends on the applicable filed rate, permitted rebates and any allowable expenses. Ask for the total in writing.
First check whether a bond is needed. Some eligible arrests use cite-and-release, book-and-release or magistrate review. A charge name alone does not establish the amount due or guarantee release.
What does a bail bond cost? Four simple examples
Illustrations at a 10% premium rate, before any applicable allowable expenses. These are examples, not a quote or a required down payment.
The bail amount is the security set for release. The premium is the charge for the bond. Collateral, if required, separately secures the agreement. A payment plan changes when the agreed premium is paid; it does not erase the balance. Read about payment plans and collateral.
2026 East Los Angeles bail schedule: charges and amounts
East Los Angeles uses the Los Angeles County schedule. This easy-read selection covers 42 felony entries and specific circumstances. It is not the complete schedule or a live booking record. Match the code, subsection and circumstances, then verify the current custody record before paying.
How to read this table
- Dollar amount: the schedule’s listed bail for that specific entry, before applicable adjustments.
- CR: cite and release for eligible arrests.
- BR: book and release for eligible arrests.
- MR: magistrate review; no fixed dollar amount is supplied for that entry.
The protocol designates CR, BR and MR offenses as $0 bail categories for eligible pre-arraignment cases. CR and BR eligible arrestees are not required to post cash bail; MR requires a magistrate’s release decision. They are not promises of automatic release. Holds, warrants, criminal history, enhancements, multiple charges and court orders may change the outcome. The judge’s arraignment decision can differ.

Why some common arrest charges have no dollar amount here
Basic misdemeanor DUI, domestic battery and misdemeanor resisting arrest are not priced by this felony-only table. Do not use the PC 273.5 corporal-injury amount for a PC 243(e)(1) domestic-battery booking, or the PC 69 pathway for PC 148(a)(1). The exact charge matters.
For child endangerment, PC 273a(a) is listed as MR. For felony DUI, the schedule distinguishes the base entry from a specified great-bodily-injury or weapon circumstance. Embezzlement and sex-crime allegations also have separate code entries; one general label cannot give an accurate bond quote.
Call (323) 213-3472 with the name, booking number if known, exact charge and current facility. We can help check whether bail is available and explain a written quote.
East LA bail cost questions
Is a $50,000 bail the same as a $50,000 bail bond fee?
No. At an example 10% rate, the premium would be $5,000. Confirm the actual rate, allowable expenses and any collateral separately in writing.
How much is bail for a domestic violence arrest in East LA?
The 2026 felony schedule lists $50,000 for its base PC 273.5 entry and $100,000 for the specified prior-conviction entry. Those are scheduled bail amounts, not bond premiums, and do not replace the current booking or court order. Domestic battery under a different code is not the same entry.
How much is bail for a DUI arrest in East Los Angeles?
The felony schedule lists MR for VC 23152 when felony under VC 23550 or 23550.5 and for the base VC 23153 injury entry. It lists $100,000 for the specified VC 23153 great-bodily-injury or weapon circumstance shown in the table. Basic misdemeanor DUI requires the applicable misdemeanor rules and the actual booking status.
Does MR mean the bail amount is zero?
The protocol designates MR offenses as $0 bail categories for eligible pre-arraignment cases, but release requires magistrate review. This is not a guarantee of immediate release. Confirm eligibility, the review outcome and any conditions.
Do I get the bail bond premium back if charges are dropped?
Premiums generally are not refundable even when charges are dropped. Certain exceptions can apply. Collateral is separate and is released when the bail obligation is satisfied and the bond is exonerated, subject to the agreement.
Can I make payments on a bail bond?
Ask about available arrangements for the specific bond. Get the full premium, initial payment, due dates, collateral and signer obligations in writing. A small initial payment is not the total cost.
Can bail change after booking?
Yes. Enhancements, additional matters, release eligibility and judicial orders can affect bail or release conditions. Use the current custody and court information rather than relying only on a schedule.
How do I bail someone out of East LA Sheriff’s Station?
First confirm the person remains at the station and that a bond can be accepted. Call (323) 213-3472 to review the booking and quote. Posting a bond and completing physical release are separate steps. See the station guide.
