CASE ACCESS AND PAYMENT PORTAL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE:

The court will be performing network maintenance and upgrades on Monday April 20 and Tuesday April 21, beginning at approximately 5:30pm each evening and lasting 2-3 hours. This will cause a loss in network connectivity, including access to Case Access and Payment Portal. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will do our best to keep the outage as brief as possible.

ATTENTION:

Effective March 2, 2026, the Superior Court of Santa Barbara welcomed Angela Braun as the new Court Executive Officer. Local forms have been updated to reflect this change. Please use the latest versions available on our website. Prior versions will continue to be accepted during this transition period.
