SONOMA COUNTY SHERIFF INFORMATION

When someone is arrested in Santa Rosa, both males and females will be transported to the Sonoma County jail, located directly in Santa Rosa. The defendant’s booking process may take anywhere from 2 to 24 hours depending on the size and workload of the facility.

Larger facilities may take much longer to book a defendant into their system than a smaller one. The booking process typically consists of fingerprinting, photographs, background checks and entering the inmate into the computer system.

The smaller Sonoma Police or Sheriff Department jails may often transfer inmates to larger Detention facilities if the defendant is not bailed out quickly. Release from these jails can take anywhere from 4 to 12 hours, depending on the individual case and how busy the facility is. Bail can usually be posted at most Sonoma County jails, 24-hours a day.

THE BAIL PROCESS AND INDEMNITOR'S RESPONSIBILITY

When you contact us, we’ll start by asking just a few quick questions to begin the bail process. Initially, we’ll require the arrestees’ complete name, jail location and when arrested. Once the bond has been approved, we will send you the bail bond paperwork to sign.

Both our application and contract are two simple and easy to understand documents.  A fax or email is all you need to get the bail bond started. We also offer the option of meeting with you directly at the jail, or we'll meet you at your home or office.

When you sign the bail bond contract, you will assume responsibility to make sure the defendant returns to court as required. It's important that you understand your responsibilities as an indemnitor prior to signing for a bond.

BAIL AMOUNTS AND COSTS

Bail bond fees are regulated by the California Department of Insurance. Bail amounts are set according to the charges and each individual county bail schedule. A bail bond in Santa Rosa costs 10% of the total bail amount. As an example, if the bail amount is set at $25,000 it will cost the non-refundable fee of $2,500 to bail the defendant out of the Sonoma County jail.
