Transferring Locations on Formal Probation

I want to transfer my formal probation to another county. can I do that?

It’s possible. The California Superior Court of the county that you were convicted of a crime in has jurisdiction (decision-making power) over county-to-county transfers for probation.[764]

When deciding whether transfer is appropriate, the judge will look at:

    Permanency of your residence (whether you actually live in the transfer county permanently);
    Local programs available for you in the transfer county; and
    Restitution orders and victim issues.[765]
