Courthouse Overview
The Banning Justice Center stands at 311 E Ramsey Street in Banning. The Superior Court of California, County of Riverside lists four categories of matters served here: evictions, small claims, criminal, and traffic. The criminal calendar is what brings most families to this page.
The fact worth stating first is geographic. Banning is also home to the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility at 1627 S Hargrave Street, the county's largest jail. Most Riverside County families spend the first day of a case driving between a jail in one city and a courthouse in another. In Banning, both are in the same small city. A bond posted at Smith resolves custody in the same town where the arraignment will be heard.
That pairing also explains why this courthouse's reach extends beyond the pass. When the Hemet Courthouse closed in 2024, the court moved mid-county criminal and traffic matters here rather than to the new Menifee Justice Center, which does not carry a criminal calendar. Families from Hemet and the San Jacinto Valley now appear in Banning.
For Banning itself, one more detail matters: the city maintains its own police department, so a Banning arrest is booked by city officers before any county transfer. We confirm the custody location by phone before anyone drives.

Hours Of Operation
Court hours and jail release timing are two different clocks. Banning Justice Center runs on a weekday court calendar; the jail holding your family member runs 24 hours a day.
| Courthouse building hours | 7:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Monday – Friday |
|---|---|
| Clerk's office phone hours | 7:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., Monday – Friday |
| Drop box | Available until 4:00 p.m. on court days |
| Weekends & court holidays | Closed |
| Midnight Bail Bonds | Open 24 hours, 7 days a week |
The court publishes building hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and separately limits clerk's office phone hours to 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., excluding court holidays. Documents dropped after 4:00 p.m. are processed the next court day.
Court hours and jail hours are different systems. The Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility processes releases around the clock; a bond accepted at 2:00 a.m. does not wait for the courthouse on Ramsey Street to open.

Parking And Directions
The court publishes specific parking information for this location. Everything below comes from the court's own page rather than from our observation.
Public parking — front and back
Public parking is available in front of the courthouse on the south side and in the back on the north side.
Accessible parking
There are nine handicapped spaces across the two lots — seven in the south lot and two in the north lot. Vehicles displaying a handicapped placard or plate may park in any space.
Overflow parking
Overflow public parking is in the public lot across N. Alessandro Road, west of the courthouse, which has one designated handicapped space.
Accessible entrance
The main entrance on the south side is wheelchair accessible, with a ramp to the left of the entry and door activation buttons on the main doors.
Security screening
Everyone entering passes through security screening including a metal detector. People with pacemakers or cochlear implants may request hand-wand screening instead.
Departments & Case Types
The case categories the court lists at Ramsey Street, mapped to its published courtroom directory. Always follow the department number printed on your own paperwork.
Criminal — Misdemeanor
Arraignments, pretrial hearings, and misdemeanor trials for the pass area and, since the Hemet closure, the mid-county region. In-custody defendants generally come from the Larry D. Smith facility across town.
Criminal — Felony
Felony arraignments, preliminary hearings, bail review motions under Penal Code §1270.1, and felony trials on the eastern-western county line.
Traffic
Traffic infractions and related matters for Banning, Beaumont, Calimesa, and the surrounding pass communities, plus mid-county traffic relocated from Hemet.
Small Claims
Small claims filings and hearings — listed by the court as one of the four categories served at this location.
Evictions (Unlawful Detainer)
Unlawful detainer matters for the pass area. These share a building with the criminal calendar, so the lobby mixes very different kinds of cases.
Courtroom Directory
The court lists six departments: B101 on the lower level, B201 on the main level, and B301 through B304 on the second floor. All floors are elevator accessible.
How To Post Bail At Banning Justice Center
Bail review and reduction motions in California run under Penal Code §1270.1, and the starting figure comes from the Riverside County Felony and Misdemeanor Bail Schedule (effective October 20, 2025).
Bail is posted where the defendant is being held, never at a courthouse counter. For a pass-area case that is almost always the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Banning, or the Banning Police Department in the first hours after a city arrest.
The proximity here is a real advantage. In most of Riverside County a family posts a bond at one facility and then drives to a courthouse in a different city on a different day. In Banning, the jail and the criminal courthouse are minutes apart, so the release and the first appearance stay in one place.
The bail figure comes from the county-wide Riverside Felony and Misdemeanor Bail Schedule, not from anything specific to this courthouse. We take the application by phone, confirm the custody location, and post at Smith. Statutory 10% premium, 1% down on approved credit.
If bail was set high at booking, a reduction motion is heard on this courthouse's criminal calendar. Call before the hearing so we can explain how a reduced figure interacts with a bond that is already posted.
2025 Release Categories
Every bond we write is issued by a California Department of Insurance licensed bail agent under Cal. Ins. Code §1800, at the statutory 10% premium.
If A Court Date Here Is Missed
A missed appearance at Banning Justice Center can mean a forfeited bond and a bench warrant the same day. There is a statutory window to bring the defendant back before forfeiture becomes a judgment against the cosigner — call us immediately. Failure to appear bail bonds →
Nearby Jails & Detention Centers
Where defendants appearing on this criminal calendar are held. For Banning, the answer is usually a few minutes away rather than an hour down the freeway.
Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility
1627 S Hargrave St, Banning, CA 92220
The county's largest jail, in the same city as this courthouse. Most in-custody defendants on the Banning criminal calendar are held here, which keeps custody and arraignment in one town.
Banning Police Department
125 E Ramsey St, Banning, CA 92220
The city's own police department, a short walk from the courthouse on the same street. City arrests are booked here first, and a bond posted before the county transfer can end the custody question without a Smith intake.
Robert Presley Detention Center
4000 Orange St, Riverside, CA 92501
The downtown Riverside county facility. Relevant to pass-area cases only when a separate hold or warrant pulls someone west — confirm before making that drive.
