Riverside County Courthouses

Fifteen Superior Court locations spread across 7,300 square miles, from Corona to Blythe. Find the address, what each district hears, and — just as important — which courthouse is the wrong one for a criminal case.

Verified Riverside County Courthouses

Click any courthouse for arraignment timing, bail review, parking, nearby jails, and what happens if a court date is missed.

Tier 1 — General Jurisdiction Districts

Adult criminal, traffic, civil, and family calendars from Corona to the Colorado River. Several of these buildings hear no criminal cases at all, and two — Hemet and Temecula — have closed outright. Each card says so plainly, because in Riverside County the nearest courthouse is frequently not the one on the case.

(951) 777-3147

The county's primary criminal courthouse. Felony and misdemeanor arraignments, bail reviews under In re Humphrey, and Pre-Arraignment Review outcomes for western Riverside County. Defendants are held at the Robert Presley Detention Center a block away.

Bail Is Posted At The Jail Not At The Courthouse

California bail is never posted at a court counter. The bond goes to the facility holding the defendant, which in this county is frequently a different city than the courthouse on the case.

Riverside County's bail schedule effective October 20, 2025 sorts qualifying offenses into Cite and Release (CR), Book and Release (BR), and Pre-Arraignment Review (PAR) — meaning many arrests never reach a money-bail figure at all. Where bail is set, it follows Penal Code §1269b(c), and In re Humphrey (2021) 11 Cal.5th 135 requires the court to consider ability to pay. Premium is the statutory 10% filed with the California Department of Insurance. Start with the jail directory to confirm where custody actually is, or the county service-area hub for city-by-city booking details.

Missing a court date at any of these districts can trigger a bench warrant and bail forfeiture. If a warrant has issued, call us about a failure-to-appear bail bond before it escalates.

Our agents are available 24 hours a day to confirm which district is handling a case, whether a warrant has issued, and what it takes to post a bond before the next appearance.
