Arkansas state law fixes bail bondsmen fees so every licensed bondsman charges the same:
- Premium: 10% of the bond amount, non-refundable
- Bondsman fee: $60 flat
- Booking fee: $20 flat, paid at posting
- Rounding: all amounts round up to the next $5
Worked example for a $1,000 bond: premium $100, bondsman fee $60, you pay Triple R $160, plus $20 booking fee at posting = $180 total.
Possible additional jail fee: Most Arkansas county jails do not charge a warrant or affidavit fee. Sharp County and Izard County do — each charges a $50 warrant/affidavit fee at the time the bond is posted, on top of the bondsman fees and booking fee.
