About
Saraland Municipal Court
Saraland Municipal Court is located at 937 Highway 43 South, Saraland, AL 36571 — phone (251) 675-5393. Bail is set by the court, not by the jail. That is the fact families most often get wrong: the jail cannot raise, lower, or waive a bail amount, and it cannot release anyone until a bond is posted.
The bond itself is posted at the MCSO Docket inside Mobile County Metro Jail, 450 St. Emanuel Street, Mobile, AL 36603 — open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. You never have to travel there. M&J Bail Bonds delivers the bond in person at any hour.
Saraland Municipal Court handles City of Saraland ordinance violations and municipal traffic charges filed by Saraland Police Department, 716 Saraland Boulevard South, (251) 675-5331. Presiding judge: C. Mark Erwin.
Saraland City Jail is a short-term holding facility — a maximum hold of roughly 24 hours. Defendants requiring extended detention transfer to Mobile County Metro Jail, 450 St. Emanuel Street, where bail is set through the county process and where the bond is posted. Saraland has no online inmate search, so call (833) MNJ-BAIL and we locate the defendant by phone.
M&J Bail Bonds is headquartered at 11 North Water Street, Floor 10 in downtown Mobile — blocks from Government Plaza and minutes from Metro Jail. Call (833) MNJ-BAIL and a licensed local agent answers.
Alabama court dates and case records are published at alacourt.gov, with the 13th Judicial Circuit at mobile.alacourt.gov. Custody records are published by the Mobile County Sheriff's Office — mobileso.com.

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).
Check The Court Date Before It Is Missed
Alabama court dates are published at alacourt.gov, with 13th Judicial Circuit dates at mobile.alacourt.gov. Federal dockets are at alsd.uscourts.gov.
A missed date means a bench warrant and forfeiture of the bond. Call (833) MNJ-BAIL before the date — it is far easier to fix in advance.
Payment Plans On The Premium
Many Mobile County families cannot pay the full 10% premium at once. We arrange monthly installments, co-signers, and collateral options.
Accepted: Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH, Zelle, and cash. See /alabama/payment-plan-bail-bonds/ and /alabama/no-collateral-bail-bonds/.

What Does A Bail Bond Cost For A Saraland Municipal Court Case?
Alabama law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311) fixes the bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the bail amount set by the court. M&J Bail Bonds charges exactly what the law requires — nothing more.
Charge Level
Avg Bail Range
Your Cost (10%)
01Misdemeanors, DUI 1st, minor theft
Bail: $1,000 – $5,000
Your cost: $100 – $500
02DUI 2nd/3rd, simple assault, drug possession
Bail: $5,000 – $25,000
Your cost: $500 – $2,500
03DV felony, distribution, burglary
Bail: $25,000 – $100,000
Your cost: $2,500 – $10,000
04Violent felony, trafficking, robbery
Bail: $100,000+
Your cost: $10,000+
How The Math Works
Bail is $10,000. Alabama's regulated premium is 10%, so your cost is $1,000 plus state administrative fees. M&J posts the full $10,000 with the court and delivers the bond to the MCSO Docket at Metro Jail. Payment options: Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH, Zelle, and cash — with payment plans and no-collateral options for qualifying bonds. See /alabama/10-percent-bail-bonds/, /alabama/payment-plan-bail-bonds/, and /alabama/no-collateral-bail-bonds/.
Read the statute: Ala. Code § 12-19-311
10%State-Set Premium
Premium rate verified by FindLaw →
Alabama adds state administrative fees on top of the 10% premium under Ala. Code § 12-19-311. M&J discloses the exact total — premium plus state fees — before you sign anything. Ranges are illustrative only and are not a quote or a promise of bail.

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.
