Big Bear District Courthouse Bail Bonds

About the Big Bear District Courthouse

The Big Bear District Courthouse is at 477 Summit Blvd., Big Bear Lake, CA 92315. It is the mountain district courthouse of the San Bernardino County Superior Court, handling cases from Big Bear Lake and the surrounding mountain communities.

Court activity here pairs closely with the Big Bear area's jail and Sheriff station activity. Someone arrested in the Big Bear Valley may be held locally for a short time and then transferred to a county facility down the hill, while their case is still set at this courthouse.

The courthouse is about 32 miles from our office on Hospitality Lane in San Bernardino. We serve mountain cases from that office and can usually handle paperwork remotely.

Bail Before and After a Court Date

If the person is in custody, bail is set from the San Bernardino County bail schedule or by a judge at arraignment. A judge may raise, lower or deny bail. Once there is a bail amount, a licensed bail agent can post a bond for the full amount in exchange for a premium, which in California is generally 10% of the bail.

If someone has a warrant out of the Big Bear court, call us before they turn themselves in. We can check the bail amount and help plan the bond so the process goes as smoothly as possible.

To confirm where someone is held, use the San Bernardino County Sheriff inmate locator (https://wp.sbcounty.gov/sheriff/inmate-locator/).

1. Call (909) 406-6909 with the person's full name, date of birth and, if you have it, the booking number and facility.
2. We confirm the booking, the charges and the bail amount, and explain the premium and any co-signer or collateral needs.
3. The co-signer (indemnitor) reviews and signs the bail agreement — in person at our San Bernardino office or remotely.
4. The premium is paid or a payment plan is arranged; payment plans may be available on approved credit.
5. We post the bond with the Sheriff, and the jail processes the release. Timing depends on the facility.

Keeping Court Dates

A bail bond depends on the defendant attending every court date. Missing court can lead to a warrant and forfeiture of the bond. Mountain weather can affect travel, so plan ahead and keep the court's contact information handy. We remind clients of upcoming dates where we can.
