The Superior Court adopts a countywide schedule under Penal Code 1269b(c) for people arrested without a warrant. The current one is marked "Updated November 2025." A felony with no listed amount is set at $10,000, and a misdemeanor with no listed amount is set at zero. Murder is marked no bail. A judge sets the real terms at the first appearance.

From the November 2025 schedule: misdemeanor drunk driving with no priors, $1,000; with a prior, $5,000; misdemeanor battery, $5,000; battery causing serious bodily injury, $50,000; felony corporal injury to a partner, $50,000; second-degree burglary over $950, $10,000; second-degree robbery, $50,000; robbery in a home, $100,000; assault with a deadly weapon, $50,000; grand theft over $950, $10,000.

Petty theft with a prior and drug possession are listed at $10,000 only when the person has a qualifying prior or must register under Penal Code 290. These are starting figures, and a judge can change them.

Yes. The schedule itself says that after arraignment the court makes an individual decision under the 2021 California Supreme Court case In re Humphrey. The court may order release on conditions that do not involve money, and any money condition has to be one the person can afford. His attorney does best with job records, a lease and family letters in hand. Judges also weigh safety and the charge under Penal Code 1275.

Bail goes through the jail. Call the Main Jail at 916-874-6752 to learn where to pay and what forms the desk takes, because the Sheriff's money page does not cover bail. That page says the Main Jail cashier office is not open to the public. A lobby kiosk exists, but the Sheriff describes it as a way to put money on an inmate account, not to buy release.

Back to questions ↑

Account money pays for store items and calls. Pay it at the lobby kiosk using cash or a debit or credit card, call it in at 866-232-1899, or mail a money order or cashier's check addressed to the Elk Grove facility. Fees apply. Personal checks are refused. These deposits do not free anyone. The Sheriff says there are no money releases on weekends or holidays.

Often, for lower-level charges. Officers can release many people arrested for misdemeanors on a written promise to appear (Penal Code 853.6), unless a listed reason applies, such as a warrant or an unclear identity. A judge can also order release on a person's own promise. Check the charge on Sacramento County Inmate Search, then ask the Main Jail desk about this before paying.

A Sacramento bondsman typically keeps 10 percent, according to state insurance regulators, and Sacramento families do not recover it, however the case turns out. Every agent for a surety company must use the same filed rates. Get the price, the collateral and the no-show rules on paper, and look up the bondsman's license with state insurance regulators.

Possibly, but the court controls it. Ask the criminal clerk at 916-874-5522 which department has the case; then find out the title papers, how much equity they need, and if land beyond Sacramento County is allowed. Wait for court approval before signing any lien.

The schedule marks murder as no bail. Article I, section 12 of the state constitution also allows a Sacramento judge to refuse bail in some violent or sex felonies with a strong showing of danger, and in felonies where he threatened grave injury. For serious felonies and some domestic violence charges, a hearing must come first (Penal Code 1270.1). A hold from another case also blocks release.
