Do all bail bond companies charge 10%?
The legal mandated amount in California is 10%. There are some legal exceptions to the California 10% rule. In these limited situations, a legal rate of 8% may be applied. Other states may have different set standards for their rates, which are usually non-negotiable. There should be no hidden fees or taxes for a bail bond. For example, if the bail amount is set at $25,000, then the fee charged is $2,500 or 10%, no more and no less by law.
