Courthouse Overview
Torrance Courthouse anchors the largest confirmed city cluster in this entire directory. Eight cities — Torrance, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, and Lomita — all route their criminal calendars here, which makes this the single most consequential branch courthouse on the South Bay side of the county.
A real, distinctive detail worth knowing before you drive over: Torrance Courthouse is actually two separate buildings on the same property. The main building at the front handles DUI, felony, and misdemeanor criminal matters. A smaller annex behind it handles traffic tickets exclusively. People routinely wait in the wrong line — check which matter is on the notice before choosing a building.
Because the cluster spans both independent police departments and Sheriff's coverage on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, bookings from these eight cities can start in very different places and still end up on the same calendar here. Where the defendant is physically held is what determines where a bond gets posted, not which courthouse hears the case.
None of the other seven cluster cities has its own separate courthouse. If a case is from any of them, this is the building.

The courthouse closes at 4:30 PM; the jail holding the defendant does not close at all. A bond posted at 2 AM starts release processing at 2 AM.
Traffic matters are handled in the annex behind the main building — a separate line, a separate counter, and a common source of wasted trips.
Peninsula and beach-city bookings that are not bailed out locally generally transfer into county custody downtown, which lengthens release timing considerably.

Torrance Courthouse is at 825 Maple Ave, Torrance, CA 90503. Plan the trip around the courthouse itself — the jail holding the defendant is usually somewhere else entirely.
Getting There
825 Maple Avenue sits in central Torrance, west of Crenshaw Boulevard and near Torrance Memorial. The property holds two court buildings — the main criminal building at the front and a traffic annex behind it.
Parking
Free public and juror parking is available in the lot on Maple Avenue, north of the courthouse — a genuine exception to the paid-parking norm at the downtown courthouses.
Which Building
DUI, felony, and misdemeanor matters are in the main building. Traffic tickets are handled exclusively in the annex behind it. Confirm from the notice to appear before you get in line.
Security Screening
All visitors pass through a metal detector and are subject to search at the court's discretion. Lines run longest at the start of the morning calendar.
Departments & Case Types
The calendars actually heard at Torrance Courthouse, and where a bail decision fits into each one.
Felony Calendars
Felony arraignments, preliminary hearings, and pretrial matters for the eight-city South Bay cluster.
Misdemeanor Calendars
Misdemeanor filings from the beach cities, the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Lomita, and Torrance itself.
DUI Matters
DUI cases from across the cluster are heard in the main building — one of the highest-volume categories at this branch.
Traffic (Annex)
The separate annex building behind the main courthouse handles traffic tickets exclusively.
Civil & Small Claims
Civil and small claims calendars run here as well, with their own dedicated clerk lines.
Bail Review
Bail set at booking from the county schedule can be reviewed, reduced, raised, or converted to own-recognizance release by a judicial officer on these calendars.
How To Post Bail At Torrance 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 Torrance 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.

View facility pageBail FAQs
The questions families actually ask when a court date is set at Torrance Courthouse.
Which cities route to Torrance Courthouse?
Torrance, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, and Lomita — eight confirmed cities, the largest cluster in this directory. None of the other seven has its own separate courthouse.
Is there really more than one building?
Yes. The main building at the front of the Maple Avenue property handles DUI, felony, and misdemeanor criminal matters. A smaller annex behind it handles traffic tickets exclusively.
Is parking free at Torrance Courthouse?
Yes — free public and juror parking is available in the lot on Maple Avenue, north of the courthouse. That is unusual; the downtown courthouses all charge.
Do I post the bond at the courthouse?
No. The bond goes to the facility holding the defendant — the arresting agency's jail if they are still there, or the downtown county complex once transfer has run. We confirm which before posting.
Can a bond be posted at night or over a weekend?
Yes. The courthouse follows an 8:15 AM to 4:30 PM weekday calendar, but bonds are accepted at the holding facility 24 hours a day, including weekends and court holidays.
What happens if a Torrance court date 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.
