More about Calabasas California

In addition to being bail bonds agents we are proud members of the Calabasas community.

The city of Calabasas, formerly incorporated in 1991, has an estimated population of 23,123 residents as of 2000. The city is home to one of the oldest structures still standing in Los Angeles County, the Leonis Adobe, and adobe structure, built in 1844. In 2006, the city received international attention due to an extensive Secondhand Smoke Control Ordinance which bans smoking in all public places within the city such as, indoor/outdoor businesses, apartment common areas, hotels, parks, restaurants, or anywhere people can be exposed to secondhand smoke. The ordinance has been expanded as of the beginning of 2008, requiring 80% of apartment buildings to be designated permanently as non-smoking units by January of 2010. Every October, the city holds an annual Pumpkin Festival to pay tribute to the cities name meaning 'pumpkin' or 'squash' when derived from the Spanish calabaza. The location of the festival changes every year, but the original festival was to have taken place where a traveling wagon carrying pumpkins tipped and started the first pumpkin patch in the area, according to local legend. Not only is Calabasas home to an annual Pumpkin Festival, but also the first municipal-owned and constructed 'green' civic center in the state. Calabasas has played a leading role in environmental and open space protection in California, recently passing Measure D, an ordinance that protects and preserves any areas of Open Space in the city and requires a two-thirds voter approval for any land designated Open Space to be developed. The city has also passed Ordinance 2007-233, banning the use of food packaging materials made of Styrofoam in all retail food establishments, City facilities and non-profit food providers. Going along with the cities environmentally friendly vibe, they also have an open mind when it comes to religion. The city plays host to a Hindu Temple originally built in August of 1977. The temple complex is visited every year by a large number of Hindus, nit just from the greater Los Angeles area, but all over the world.
