What Are
Burglary Bail Bonds?
A burglary bail bond covers the full bail set by the court for an Alabama burglary charge. M&J Bail Bonds pays the full bail amount and you pay the 10% state-regulated premium (Ala. Code § 12-19-311).
Every burglary charge in Alabama — from 3rd Degree to 1st Degree — is a felony. There is no misdemeanor burglary in Alabama. This means bail is always set by a judge rather than a standard county schedule, and amounts are typically higher than property crime misdemeanors.
For national context on burglary and property crime trends, families can review data published by the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
Aniah's Law Notice
Burglary 1st Degree (§ 13A-7-5) is listed under Aniah's Law. A judge can deny bail on Burglary 1st at an Aniah Hearing. Burglary 2nd and 3rd are always bailable.
Alabama Burglary Statute
Alabama classifies burglary into three degrees under Ala. Code §§ 13A-7-5 through 13A-7-7. Here's a plain-English breakdown of each degree, and how Aniah's Law can affect bail on the most serious charge.
Ala. Code §§ 13A-7-5 · 13A-7-6 · 13A-7-7Burglary 3rd Degree — Class C Felony
Unlawfully entering or remaining in a building with intent to commit a crime inside. No weapon, no injury, non-dwelling structure. The least serious burglary charge — but still always a felony.
Burglary 2nd Degree — Class B Felony
Burglary of a dwelling (home) regardless of whether anyone was present, or burglary of any building while armed with an explosive or deadly weapon.
Burglary 1st Degree — Class A Felony
Burglary of a dwelling where another person is present, and the defendant is armed or causes or threatens injury. This is the most serious burglary charge — and the only one that triggers Aniah's Law.
Burglary vs. Trespassing
Criminal trespass under Ala. Code §§ 13A-7-2 through 13A-7-4 is a misdemeanor. The moment intent to commit a crime inside is present, the charge becomes burglary — a felony.
View the full text of Ala. Code § 13A-7-7 (Burglary 3rd Degree) →
Aniah's Law — Burglary 1st Degree
Burglary 1st Degree is listed under Ala. Const. Art. 1 § 16 (amended 2022). A judge can deny bail — but this is determined at an Aniah Hearing, not automatically. Call M&J immediately if a Burglary 1st charge is involved.
Ala. Code §§ 13A-7-5 · 13A-7-6 · 13A-7-7 · This page provides general legal information only. It is not legal advice. Consult a licensed Alabama attorney regarding your specific situation.

What Are The Penalties For Burglary In Alabama?
Alabama burglary penalties escalate sharply by degree. Here is what a conviction carries under Ala. Code §§ 13A-7-5 through 13A-7-7:
Burglary 3rd Degree
Class C Felony- Fine
- Up to $15,000
- Prison
- 1 year 1 day – 10 years
- Details
- Non-dwelling structure, no weapon or injury involved
Burglary 2nd Degree
Class B Felony- Fine
- Up to $30,000
- Prison
- 2 – 20 years
- Details
- Dwelling involved, or armed with explosive/deadly weapon
Burglary 1st Degree

- Details

- Note

License Suspensions & State Fees
License suspensions are administered by the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) — view official license suspension information →. First and second offenses also carry a $100 Impaired Drivers Trust Fund fee (§ 32-5A-191.2).
Home Invasion vs. Burglary
A burglary becomes a home invasion situation when someone is present and confronted. This elevates the charge to Burglary 1st Degree and may result in additional charges including robbery or assault. These cases typically carry the highest bail amounts.
Aniah's Law
Aniah's Law (Ala. Const. Art. 1 § 16, amended 2022) allows a judge to deny bail entirely for Burglary 1st Degree through an Aniah Hearing. Burglary 2nd and 3rd Degree remain bailable in all cases.

How Much Is Bail For Burglary In Alabama?
Burglary bail is set by a judge at arraignment, not by a standard county schedule. The table below reflects typical bail ranges seen in Mobile County and across Alabama. Your actual amount may be higher or lower.
Charge Level
Avg Bail Range
Your Cost (10%)
01Burglary 3rd Degree
Bail: $10,000 – $25,000
Your cost: $1,000 – $2,500
02Burglary 2nd Degree
Bail: $25,000 – $75,000
Your cost: $2,500 – $7,500
03Burglary 1st Degree
Bail: $50,000 – $200,000+
Your cost: $5,000 – $20,000+
How The Math Works
Alabama law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311) sets the bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the total bail amount. That is the non-refundable fee paid to M&J Bail Bonds to post your bond. On a $25,000 bail, your cost is $2,500. Burglary 1st Degree may be denied bail entirely under Aniah's Law — our agents will tell you immediately whether that applies to your case.

Payment Plans
For Real Families
Most families don't have the full 10% premium sitting in a checking account — and that is completely normal. M&J Bail Bonds offers flexible payment arrangements tailored to your financial situation so cost is never the reason your loved one stays in jail longer than necessary.
Payment Plans
We work with you on a payment schedule for the premium. Ask our agents about monthly payment arrangements when you call. No two situations are the same — we will find something that works for your family.
Collateral Options
Depending on the bond amount, collateral may or may not be required. Many DUI bonds — especially first and second offenses — do not require collateral at all. Ask us about your specific situation.
Multiple Payment Methods
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH / bank transfer, Zelle, and cash. Ask about which methods work best for your payment plan arrangement.
Important
The 10% premium is non-refundable under Alabama law — it is earned the moment the bond is posted, regardless of how the case resolves, even if charges are dropped. This is not M&J policy — it is Alabama state law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311). Our agents will explain this fully before you sign anything.

Who Qualifies For Bail?
Burglary 2nd and 3rd Degree are bailable in virtually all cases. Burglary 1st Degree is the only burglary charge where a judge can deny bail entirely under Aniah's Law, determined at an Aniah Hearing.
Burglary 1st Degree — Aniah's Law
Listed under Aniah's Law. A judge may deny bail entirely after holding an Aniah Hearing.
- Dwelling, person present, armed or injury threatened
- Judge holds an Aniah Hearing
- Bail may be denied entirely
Citations
Ala. Const. Art. 1 § 16 (as amended 2022); Ala. Code § 13A-7-5
Burglary 2nd Degree
Bail available but set high — often $25,000 to $75,000, and collateral is commonly required.
- Bail available in virtually all cases
- $25,000–$75,000 range
- Collateral commonly required
Citations
Ala. Code § 13A-7-6
Burglary 3rd Degree
Bail is almost always available and most defendants are bondable within hours of booking.
- Bail available in most cases
- $10,000–$25,000 range
- Less likely to require collateral
Citations
Ala. Code § 13A-7-7
Prior Felony Convictions
A history of prior felony convictions can trigger habitual offender status, raising both charge exposure and bail.
- Higher bail
- Possible flight-risk flag
- Habitual offender status can elevate exposure
Citations
Ala. Code § 13A-5-9 (Habitual Felony Offender Act)
No Cosigner Or No Local Ties
An underwriting policy, not a criminal statute. Without a qualified cosigner or Alabama ties, financed terms can't be approved.
- Out-of-state defendant
- No verifiable income or employment history
- No cosigner and no collateral available
Citations
Ala. Code § 12-19-311 governs the premium itself; financing eligibility is a separate approval decision made by the surety.
Who Usually Qualifies
Burglary 3rd and 2nd Degree are bailable in virtually all cases once bail is set by the court. Most defendants are bondable within hours of booking.
Who Doesn't Qualify Automatically
Burglary 1st Degree is listed under Aniah's Law, and a judge may deny bail entirely after an Aniah Hearing. Prior felony convictions can also elevate exposure and bail under Alabama's habitual offender statute.

The Bail Process
On An Alabama Burglary Charge
A burglary arrest in Alabama follows a predictable sequence, but every burglary charge is a felony — bail is set by a judge, not a standard schedule. Here is exactly what happens from arrest to release.
1
Step 1 — Arrest & Booking
After a burglary arrest, booking happens at the Mobile County Metro Jail (450 St. Emanuel Street), operated by the Mobile County Sheriff's Office. All burglary charges are felonies, so bail is set by a judge at arraignment rather than a standard county bail schedule.
2
Step 2 — Call M&J Immediately
We locate the booking record, confirm which degree of burglary was charged, and flag whether Aniah's Law has been invoked on a Burglary 1st charge. You can also search Mobile County's official Who's In Jail inmate search tool — or call us and we will look it up for you immediately.
3
Step 3 — We Explain All Costs Upfront
Before anything is signed, we walk you through the exact bail amount set by the court, your 10% premium (Ala. Code § 12-19-311), any Alabama state administrative fees, collateral requirements for higher-degree burglary bonds, and payment plan options if needed.
4
Step 4 — Bond Is Posted
Once you approve the terms and payment is arranged, our agent posts the bond directly at the Mobile County Metro Jail. This authorizes the jail to begin processing the release.
5
Step 5 — Release
Release typically happens 2–6 hours after posting, depending on how busy the facility is. All court dates are mandatory, and no-contact with the alleged victim or property may be a release condition. Check alacourt.gov for court date information.
