1. 2025 Collateral Rules for Washington Bail Bonds
Washington allows bail bondsmen to accept nearly any asset, but most competitors stick to rigid lists. Here’s how All City’s flexible policies work:
| Collateral Type | All City’s Policy | Typical Competitor Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Real Estate | Accepts equity in WA homes, farms, or foreign properties | Only primary residences in WA |
| Vehicles | Cars, trucks, boats. | Paid-off vehicles only |
| Jewelry/Electronics | A fair appraisal | Unfair appraisal |
| Foreign Assets | Accepted with notarized proof | Rejected |
Key Advantage:
While competitors demand 10% fees, All City charges just 8% – saving you hundreds or thousands of dollars depending on the bail amount.
2. How to Use Collateral in 3 Steps (Even with Bad Credit)
Step 1: Choose Your Asset
🔸 Homeowners: Use equity in your WA property.
🔸 Example: A Seattle homeowner used $60,000 in equity in their home to secure a $50,000 bond, and our fee was only $4,000. Our competitors charge 10%, which would cost you $1,000 more in this example.
🔸 Renters/Undocumented: Use vehicles, jewelry, or foreign land.
🔸 Example: A Yakima farmworker used his truck (valued at $15,000) to secure a $10,000 bond.
Step 2: Get a Quick Valuation
🔸 Real Estate: We partner with local WA appraisers for same-day estimates.
🔸 Cars/Jewelry: Our agents evaluate assets at our office (or call in appraisers, as needed).
Step 3: Secure Release & Protect Your Collateral
🔸 You keep your asset (e.g., drive your car, live in your home).
🔸 The hold on your collateral is released immediately after case closure (no hidden fees).

4. 3 Mistakes That Risk Your Collateral
🔸 Mistake 1: Using unlicensed bondsmen – Scammers in rural WA (e.g., Garfield County) may seize assets unlawfully.
🔸 Mistake 2: Overvaluing collateral – All City’s free appraisals prevent IRS/tax issues.
🔸 Mistake 3: Ignoring valuable assets – We give fair appraisals on cars, jewelry, and other valuables.
