Courthouse Overview
Burbank Courthouse serves the city directly — one of the higher-volume court operations in this network. The Burbank City Prosecutor alone files roughly 5,500 cases a year, and the department processes 12,000 to 15,000 traffic citations annually. For a city of Burbank's size, that is a heavy calendar, and it shows in how quickly the morning departments fill.
Burbank is policed by its own independent department rather than by the Sheriff, so the first custody stop after an arrest is the Burbank Police Department's own facility, not a county jail. That is where a bond is posted when bail is set at the county schedule amount, and it is why a Burbank release can happen faster than a comparable Sheriff's-contract-city release.
If bail is not posted locally, custody transfers into the county system and the defendant is moved downtown for processing and housing. Once that happens, the release timeline lengthens considerably — the practical argument for handling a bond at the city jail while the option is still there.
Nothing about a court date has to be waited out in custody. Where bail is already set, the bond goes to the jail at any hour and the defendant appears here from home.

View pageParking & Directions
Burbank Courthouse is at 300 East Olive Avenue, Burbank, CA 91502. Plan the trip around the courthouse itself — the jail holding the defendant is usually somewhere else entirely.
Getting There
300 East Olive Avenue sits in Burbank's civic center, near the police department and city hall — a short drive off the 5 Freeway.
Parking
Specific courthouse parking arrangements were not independently confirmed this research pass. Civic-center lots and metered street parking are in the immediate area; allow extra time on heavy calendar mornings.
Security Screening
Visitors pass through a metal detector and are subject to search at the court's discretion. Traffic and arraignment mornings draw the longest lines.
Before You Drive
Release happens at the jail, not here. Confirm which facility is holding the defendant first — one phone call settles it.

How To Post Bail At Burbank Courthouse
The starting bail figure comes from the Los Angeles Superior Court’s felony and misdemeanor bail schedule, adopted under Penal Code §1269b, and review or reduction of that figure runs under Penal Code §1270.1.
Bail moves in two stages. At booking, the county schedule applies administratively — no judge involved, postable immediately. At the first court appearance, a judicial officer reviews that figure and can leave it, raise it, reduce it, or grant own-recognizance release.
Posting before that hearing isn’t a gamble. If the court later reduces bail, the premium is already earned — but the defendant spent the intervening days at home rather than in custody. If bail is increased instead, having posted early is exactly why they weren’t in custody for the hearing.
The bond itself is posted at the facility physically holding the defendant, not at a courthouse counter. We handle that. What we need to start: a full legal name, a date of birth, and a short cosigner conversation.
Every bond is issued by a California Department of Insurance-licensed agent under Cal. Ins. Code §1800, at the statutory 10% premium — as low as 1% down on approved credit.
If A Court Date Here Is Missed
A missed appearance at Burbank Courthouse can mean a forfeited bond and a bench warrant the same day, with a limited statutory window to bring the defendant back before forfeiture becomes a judgment against the cosigner.

The questions families actually ask when a court date is set at Burbank Courthouse.
Where is Burbank Courthouse?
300 East Olive Avenue, Burbank, CA 91502, in the city's civic center near the police department.
How busy is this courthouse?
Busy for a city branch. The Burbank City Prosecutor files roughly 5,500 cases a year and the department processes 12,000 to 15,000 traffic citations annually.
Where is someone held after a Burbank arrest?
At the Burbank Police Department's own jail first, because Burbank is an independent department rather than a Sheriff's contract city. If bail is not posted there, custody transfers to the county and the defendant is moved downtown.
What number do I call?
General information is (818) 260-8400. Department-level lines run from (818) 260-8401 through (818) 260-8422.
Do I post the bond at the courthouse?
No. The bond goes to the facility holding the defendant — the Burbank PD jail, or the downtown county complex after transfer.
Can a bond be posted at night?
Yes. The courthouse runs a weekday calendar; the jail bond window is open 24 hours a day, every day, including court holidays.
What happens if a court date here is missed?
A missed appearance can mean a forfeited bond and a bench warrant the same day, with a limited statutory window to bring the defendant back before the forfeiture becomes a judgment against the cosigner.
