Cobb County Courthouse FAQs
Is parking available at the Cobb County Courthouse?
Yes. Public parking is available around the Cobb County Courthouse and court buildings in downtown Marietta. There are several county parking decks and surface lots near the courthouse complex, including parking areas close to Haynes Street, Waddell Street, and Cherokee Street. Parking availability can vary depending on the day and time, especially during jury trials or busy court calendars, so arriving a little early is usually a good idea. Visitors should also allow extra time to pass through courthouse security before entering the building.
What should I bring with me when going to court in Cobb County?
If you are going to court in Cobb County, it's best to bring a valid photo ID along with any paperwork connected to your case. That may include court notices, tickets, filing documents, photographs, receipts, contracts, or other evidence you may need during your hearing. Most people also bring copies of important documents and something to take notes with while they are in court. Since all visitors go through security screening, avoid bringing prohibited items or anything unnecessary that could delay entry into the courthouse.
Can I bring my phone or electronics into the courthouse?
Cell phones are generally allowed in most public areas of the Cobb County Courthouse, but there may be restrictions depending on the courtroom, judge, or type of proceeding. Phones usually must be silenced while court is in session, and recording or photography inside courtrooms is typically prohibited unless specifically approved by the court. Laptops and other electronics may also be subject to security screening before entering the courthouse. If you are unsure about a specific device or courtroom policy, checking with the court clerk ahead of time is usually the safest option.
