How Community Service Works in California Courts
Under California Penal Code § 1203.1, courts may order community service as a condition of probation for misdemeanor and certain felony offenses.
California has 58 counties, and community service is ordered by its superior courts across all 58 counties. The court that hears your case sets how many hours you need, the deadline and how you prove completion.
- Population: 39 million (U.S. Census Bureau, 2023)
- Counties: 58 (Judicial Council of California)
- Annual Court Filings: 5.4 million+ (Judicial Council of California)
If your order allows online hours, you can complete them with us and submit your certificate and hour log the way your court instructs. Our California community service guide covers the state’s courts and rules in more detail, and you can read how to complete community service online in California.
