Airport Courthouse
Bail Bonds Guide

11701 S La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90045, in the Westchester area just east of LAX. The building keeps standard Los Angeles Superior Court weekday hours — 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, with clerk windows generally 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed weekends and court holidays.

Yes — West Hollywood matters are handled at the Airport Courthouse rather than at a courthouse inside the city, since West Hollywood is a contract city with no court of its own. Our West Hollywood city page covers the Sheriff's station that books the arrest and the county transfer path.

Some older secondary sources describe the Airport Courthouse as covering Beverly Hills and Culver City. On this site we list Beverly Hills matters under the Beverly Hills Courthouse and Culver City matters under the Santa Monica Courthouse, which absorbed the Culver City calendars after that courthouse closed in 2005. Always follow the courthouse and department printed on the notice you were given.

No. Bail bonds are posted at the facility holding the defendant, never at a courthouse counter. For a West Hollywood arrest that means the West Hollywood Sheriff's Station first, then the county facilities downtown if custody transfers.

Booking happens at the West Hollywood Sheriff's Station at 780 N San Vicente Blvd. If bail is not posted in that window, men move into the Inmate Reception Center and Twin Towers downtown and women to Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood.

Usually it is already set at booking under the Los Angeles County bail schedule and can be posted immediately. At arraignment the judge reviews it and may keep, raise, or reduce it, or grant own-recognizance release, under the bail hearing rules cited above.

The judge can order the bond forfeited and issue a bench warrant the same day. California allows a limited statutory window to return the defendant and set the forfeiture aside before summary judgment against the surety — call us immediately rather than waiting.
