About Calaveras Bail Bonds

Calaveras Bail Bonds is a licensed California bail bond agency dedicated exclusively to serving the families of Calaveras County. When someone you care about is arrested, whether in San Andreas, Angels Camp, Murphys, Arnold, Copperopolis, or anywhere else in the county, we are the call that starts the process of getting them home.

We are real people, not a national call center routing your call to an out-of-state agent. We know the Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility at 1045 Jeff Tuttle Drive in San Andreas. We know the Calaveras County bail schedule, the booking process, the court system, and the local law enforcement community. When you call us, you speak with someone who has handled Calaveras County bail bonds many times and knows exactly what to do next.

Our office is mobile. Everything is handled by phone, fax, or email. You never need to drive to an office. The indemnity agreement and all other paperwork is completed remotely in about 20 minutes. Once paperwork is signed and payment is arranged, our agent goes directly to the jail and posts the bond. Release from the Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility typically takes 1 to 4 hours after the bond is posted.

We serve every community in Calaveras County. From the mountain communities of Arnold and Murphys to the valley areas of Valley Springs and Copperopolis, and every rural road and highway in between. The Calaveras County Sheriff and the California Highway Patrol cover most of the county, with the Angels Camp Police Department handling the one incorporated city. All arrests route to the same facility. We post bail there 24 hours a day.

The bail process in California is governed by the California Insurance Code, which sets the bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the total bail amount. This rate is non-negotiable by law and applies to all licensed bail agents in the state. It is how we are compensated for guaranteeing the defendant's appearance at all court dates.

Once the defendant is booked at the Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility and bail is set, we can post the bond immediately. For most misdemeanor and felony charges, bail is set at booking by the Calaveras County bail schedule. For serious felonies or cases with aggravating circumstances, bail is set by a judge at arraignment, which must happen within 48 to 72 hours of arrest.

After the bond is posted, the jail processes the release. At the Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility, release processing typically takes 1 to 4 hours depending on staffing and facility volume. We post bond at any hour, so the process can begin immediately regardless of when the arrest occurred.

After release, the defendant must appear at all scheduled court dates at Calaveras Superior Court, 400 Government Center Drive, San Andreas. We explain all obligations clearly at the time of posting. Failure to appear results in a bench warrant and forfeiture of the bond.
