Valley Village Bail Bonds, Around the Clock
By Jane Un, licensed bail agent #1843448. Updated October 29, 2026.
Valley Village is a small neighborhood of apartments, duplexes and shady streets between Magnolia Boulevard and the 170 Freeway. If your phone just lit up with a call from jail, we can help you plan the next few hours.
My name is Jane Un, and I am a licensed California bail agent. We are open 24 hours. A friend, a roommate, a parent or an attorney can call for the person in custody, and the first conversation is free.

Start with the North Hollywood Area
Valley Village is served by the LAPD North Hollywood Area, which also covers Studio City, Toluca Lake and Sun Valley. The station is on Burbank Boulevard, a few minutes from Valley Village Park. See the North Hollywood station page for the address and phone number.
Most people booked at a Valley station are held at the Valley Jail Section in Van Nuys. LAPD does not publish the rule, so say usually, and confirm with 213-473-6100 before you travel. Our Valley Jail page has the details.
Magnolia, Laurel Canyon and a quick drive west
From Valley Village, the Valley Jail is a short trip. Magnolia Boulevard or Burbank Boulevard to the west, then north on Van Nuys Boulevard or Sepulveda Boulevard. The 170 Freeway links to the 101 and the 405 if you want a freeway route. Expect 20 to 35 minutes at night.
The Metro G Line busway runs along the old rail corridor on Chandler Boulevard and has a stop near Laurel Canyon Boulevard. It is a good way across the Valley if you do not have a car, though the schedule is thinner late at night.
Plan on the visit taking longer than you expect. Jails move at their own pace.
Small neighborhood, close neighbors
Valley Village is quiet, and a late arrest tends to stand out. We hear from families who live in the same building as the person in custody, and from roommates who are suddenly in charge of a rent check and a phone full of voicemails. Both are normal. Both are fixable.
The Valley Village Park, the Magnolia Boulevard shops and the apartment blocks around Laurel Canyon Boulevard are where most daily life happens. An arrest there can begin with a noise complaint, a traffic stop or a disagreement. None of that changes what you do next.

What it costs, one bail at a time
Premium is 10% of bail, or 8% when a private attorney is retained or the defendant or co-signer is a veteran. We never call 1% the price. With approved credit, 1% down starts the bond and a monthly plan covers the rest.
| Bail | Premium at 10% | 1% down |
|---|---|---|
| $8,000 | $800 | $80 |
| $25,000 | $2,500 | $250 |
| $100,000 | $10,000 | $1,000 |

Do not talk on the jail phone
This is advice we give every family, and it matters in a close neighborhood where everyone talks. Calls from jail are recorded. The person may want to explain, defend themselves or ask you to contact a witness. Please stop them kindly and tell them to save it for the lawyer.
Ask only the basics. Are you okay? Do you need medicine? What is your booking number? We will handle the rest. When the person is out, the first thing to do is write down what happened while it is fresh and give it only to the attorney.
A bond does not decide guilt or innocence. It lets the person return to work, family and school while the case goes forward. Many people who are arrested never face a conviction, and some cases are dropped or reduced. It is worth using the time well.
If you do not yet have a lawyer, ask about the public defender at the first court date, or look at the what to do after an arrest guide for a simple checklist.
Court, and what the date means
Cases from Valley arrests are generally heard at Van Nuys Courthouse East on Sylmar Avenue. The date and department are on the paperwork that comes with release. If you cannot find it, search the Los Angeles Superior Court site by name.
The person must attend every hearing. The bond lasts until the case is over or the court ends it, and a missed date can put it at risk. Read our missed court date guide and share it with the person.
If a public defender is needed, our resources directory shows how to ask.
Pregnant and in custody
Qualifying pregnant women, 8 months or more along, with bail of $50,000 or less on a non-violent charge and a working co-signer with proof of income, may be eligible for free bail with the premium waived, subject to approval. If she does not qualify, ask anyway. We are often able to help. See the program page.
1% down is a down payment on approved credit, not the price of the bond. The premium is the rate on file with the California Department of Insurance, 10% of the bail amount, or 8% when a private attorney is retained or you or the defendant is a veteran. The balance goes on a payment plan.
