Courthouse Overview
The Costa Mesa Justice Complex sits at 3390 Harbor Boulevard in Costa Mesa. Lead with the caveat, because it changes how you should use this page: this is a temporary assignment. Small claims and probate calendars were relocated here while the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana undergoes safety renovations, and they are expected to return once that work is finished. Treat any address you read about this location — including this one — as something to verify against your current notice before you drive.
What runs here is small claims and probate. Small claims is limited-dollar civil litigation, usually handled without attorneys. Probate covers decedents' estates, wills, conservatorships, and guardianships. Neither involves an arrest, custody, an arraignment, or a bail amount.
No bail is posted at 3390 Harbor. Orange County bail is set in the criminal Justice Centers — principally the Central Justice Center and the Harbor Justice Center in Newport Beach for the coastal and south county cities — and the bond itself is posted at the Intake Release Center on Flower Street in Santa Ana. Note that "Harbor Justice Center" and "Harbor Boulevard" are unrelated despite the shared word; the Harbor Justice Center is on Jamboree Road in Newport Beach.
One more distinction worth stating plainly, since both carry the city's name. Costa Mesa has an independent police department that runs its own Type I city jail and books its own arrests. That operation and this courthouse share a city and nothing else. A Costa Mesa arrest is not brought here, and nothing on this small claims and probate calendar has any bearing on a criminal case.
