How much is bail for a warrant

A preset bail amount for warrant charges sits between $4,000 at the low end and $20,000 at the high end. Every county court creates its own list. Many warrants come after an own recognizance release. Own recognizance means you signed an agreement to come back to court with no money paid.

A misdemeanor failure to appear costs $5,000 on the Riverside Superior Court bail schedule. For a felony, the amount at the Riverside County jail climbs to $20,000. Missing court after release is set at $10,000 on the Santa Clara Superior Court bail schedule.
