How Much Will My Bail Be?

For many common crimes, there is a standard set rate bail schedule. However, dependant upon why you were arrested, you may have to wait for a judge to determine if bail will be allowed in your case and what the amount will be. Each case is considered individually.

Determining factors for how much the bail amount will be and if bail will be allowed can include:

• Type or nature of crime committed.
• Is there a previous criminal record.
• Strength of the evidence.
• Risk of flight or that you will not appear in court as required.
• Family and community ties.
• Is there a risk to public safety if released.
• Probability of committing a new crime if released.
• Physical and mental state.
• Employment status.
• Current legal status (probation, parole, other outstanding warrants).

If bail is not allowed the defendant will remain in custody until the case is settled.
