What Are the Degrees of Burglary in California?

The most common way a person commits burglary is by entering a building with the intention of committing theft. For example, if a person enters a store with the intention of stealing an item on display, that person has committed a burglary. Burglary can also be committed by entering vehicles or certain storage areas with the intent to commit theft. A person also commits burglary if he enters any of these areas with the intention of committing any felony. For example, if a person enters a building with the intention of committing felony vandalism, that person has committed a burglary.

Understanding California’s Burglary Degrees

  • First degree: Also known as residential burglary, this occurs when a person enters someone's dwelling with the intention of committing theft or any felony. First degree burglary is a felony punishable by two, four, or six years in state prison. It is also a "strike" under the California Three Strikes Law.
  • Second degree: All other kinds of burglary are of the second degree and can be charged either as a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of a year in jail, or as a felony punishable by sixteen months, two years, or three years in state prison. Second degree burglary is not considered a "strike" under the Three Strikes Law.
