A secured appearance bond is performed by securing the bail bond amount with the collateral, and paying the state premium which is non-refundable. Secured appearance bail bonds are set by a judge typically at an intitial appearance court date. This court date occurrs within 24 hours of an arrest. The judge will read the "Form 4" arresting information, look over the alleged charges, and the arestee's financial questionair. The judge will then use discretion and set release terms which often include a secured appearance bail bond.

In most states, including Arizona, the cost of a bail bond is 10% of the bail plus administrative expenses. Each state sets their own rates and those rates are non-negotiable.
