Note: The Bail Schedule is the presumptive bail for many, but not all statutory offenses. A Judicial officer may review bail in any individual case and exercise discretion in setting appropriate bail different from the schedule.  In doing this the judicial officer will consider protection of the public, the seriousness of the offense charged, the previous criminal record of the defendant and the probability the defendant will appear at  trial or at the next hearing.

Please note the schedule includes a very limited number of Infraction violations.  A comprehensive listing of Infraction violations may be found in the 2008 State Uniform Bail Schedule. Also be aware that the schedule does not reflect the total amount owed since many state-mandated assessments and fees are added to certain misdemeanor and infraction violations, substantially increasing the final sum that must be paid.
