Courthouse Evaluation Program
Any county or city that operates a courthouse not in compliance with the current safety and security guidelines contained in the Virginia Courthouse Facility Guidelines, as certified by DGS, and which cannot be feasibly renovated to correct such non-compliance, through its governing body, may assess an additional fee.
Upon determination by the County Board of Supervisors or City Council that an evaluation of the local courthouse facilities for noncompliance in accord with COV §17.1-281 is desired, please complete the forms below and submit them to DGS.
