Good to know

Release rules in Los Angeles County

  • For many lower-level arrests, the court sets $0 bail before the first court date. Under its Pre-Arraignment Release Protocol, the person is released with a citation, after booking, or after a judge’s review.
  • Serious and violent charges, and certain others set by state law, still carry money bail from the court’s bail schedule. That is when a bail bond is needed.
  • People on felony probation, parole or post-release supervision, or with repeated missed court dates, go to a judge for review even on a lower-level charge.
  • A court magistrate is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to review release.
  • The first court date (arraignment) is usually within 48 hours of arrest, longer over weekends and court holidays.
  • Bail can be posted once booking is complete or after a court appearance. It cannot be posted once the person has been sentenced.

Los Angeles County bail schedules (2026)

Los Angeles County bail questions

Does everyone arrested in Los Angeles County need bail?

No. For many lower-level charges the court sets $0 bail before the first court date, and the person is released with a promise to appear. Bail is still required for serious and violent charges and certain others set by state law. Call us and we check the charge and the bail amount for you.

Where is bail posted for someone in a Sheriff’s jail?

At the Inmate Reception Center cashier, 450 Bauchet Street in downtown Los Angeles, 24 hours a day. That covers Men’s Central Jail, Twin Towers, Century Regional in Lynwood and the Pitchess jails in Castaic.

Can bail be posted at an LAPD jail?

Yes. Bail can be posted at the LAPD jail holding the person, 24 hours a day: the Metropolitan Detention Center downtown, the 77th Street Regional Jail or the Valley Jail Section in Van Nuys.

Can bail be posted at a Sheriff’s station or a city police jail?

Yes. Bail bonds are accepted at Sheriff’s station jails and at every city police jail in Los Angeles County. Posting bail there can get the person out before they are moved to a county jail.
