An Arizona Appearance Bond is a type of bail bond that is used in the state of Arizona when a person is arrested and facing criminal charges. It is a legally binding agreement between the defendant, the court, and the bail bondsman, which ensures that the defendant appears for all of their court hearings. The bond is typically posted by a bail bondsman, who charges a non-refundable fee to the defendant. The bond is set by the court and is usually equal to the full amount of the bail. There are two types of Arizona Appearance Bonds: surety bonds and property bonds. Surety bonds are those that require the bail bondsman to guarantee the defendant’s appearance in court. Property bonds are those that require the defendant to provide collateral, such as real estate or jewelry, in order to secure the bond.
