Pomona Courthouse
Bail Bonds Guide

400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona, CA 91766 — the location known as Pomona Courthouse South. It is open 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, with the clerk's office open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except court holidays. Departments generally sit from 8:30 a.m. to noon and 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Not anymore. The former Pomona Courthouse North branch closed during the court's 2013 consolidations, and its work was folded into this Civic Center Plaza location. If an old notice, a search result, or a directory still lists a north branch, treat it as out of date — Civic Center Plaza is the active Pomona courthouse.

The East District's Pomona Valley end — Pomona itself and the surrounding eastern San Gabriel Valley communities. Our Pomona city page covers the local police jail, booking, and county transfer side of an arrest here.

No. Bail is posted at the facility holding the defendant, never at a courthouse counter. On a Pomona arrest that usually means Pomona Police Department custody first, then the county facilities downtown after transfer.

Usually it is already set at booking under the county bail schedule, so it can be posted immediately without waiting for court. At arraignment the judge reviews it and may keep, raise, or reduce the amount, or grant own-recognizance release, under the bail hearing rules cited above.

That depends on the facility, not on the court. A city jail release can move in a couple of hours. Once someone has been transferred to the Inmate Reception Center downtown, processing commonly runs several hours and stretches longer overnight and on weekends.

The judge can order the bond forfeited and issue a bench warrant that day. California allows a limited statutory window to bring the defendant back before the court and set the forfeiture aside before summary judgment against the surety, so the call needs to happen immediately.
