Rule 7.1. Definitions
(g) Surety. A “surety” is a person or company, other than the defendant, who executes an appearance bond and agrees to pay the amount of the bond if the defendant fails to comply with its conditions. A surety must file an affidavit with an appearance bond stating that the surety is not an attorney or person authorized to take bail, and that the surety owns property in Arizona (or is an Arizona resident owning property) with a value equal to or more than the amount of the appearance bond. The property's value is calculated after deducting the amount exempt from execution and all liabilities, including the amount of any other outstanding appearance bonds that the surety has entered into involving the same property.
The clerk or the court may revoke or withhold a professional bondsman's capacity to act as surety if the bondsman violates this rule's provisions.
