San Bernardino Historic Courthouse Area Bail Bonds

The Downtown San Bernardino Court Cluster

Downtown San Bernardino is home to a cluster of Superior Court buildings, including the historic courthouse area. For bail purposes, the key building is the San Bernardino Justice Center at 247 W. Third Street, which houses the modern criminal division. If your loved one has a criminal case downtown, this is almost always the building that matters.

Family Law and Child Support matters are handled separately at 351 North Arrowhead Avenue. Those divisions don't set criminal bail, so if you're dealing with an arrest, start with the Justice Center.

Finding Someone and Checking Bail

After an arrest, the person is held at a jail, not the courthouse. Use the San Bernardino County Sheriff inmate locator (https://wp.sbcounty.gov/sheriff/inmate-locator/) to find the facility and bail amount when set. Downtown San Bernardino arrests are often booked at Central Detention Center.

Check the court paperwork for the exact courtroom and date. Court locations can change, so confirm on the Superior Court's website before you go.

Bail Help From Our Hospitality Lane Office

Our office at 165 W Hospitality Ln Ste C4 is about 3 miles south of the downtown courts. Co-signers can meet us in person or sign remotely. In California the bond premium is generally 10% of the bail amount, and payment plans may be available on approved credit.

After release, keep every court date at the Justice Center. Missing court can lead to a warrant and forfeiture of the bond.

1. Call (909) 406-6909 with the person's full name, date of birth and, if you have it, the booking number.
2. We confirm the booking, the charges, the bail amount and any holds, and explain the premium and co-signer needs.
3. The co-signer reviews and signs the bail agreement — 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, and the facility processes the release. Timing depends on the facility.
