Entering the building as a handicapped individual is nearly impossible as the railings are blocked by large clear glass sheriff signs. These signs appear to be made of heavy duty glass and I do not know their purpose. I need assistance due to these obstacles that have been placed in front of the railings. The building is extremely challenging for physically handicapped individuals to navigate and is in serious need of an update.

I had been waiting a month to get a letter saying what I owed - turns out someone told the post office I didn't live at my house anymore. I called the clerk of courts and she was extremely friendly and workable and I paid over the phone. So thank you so much!

Impressive grand old building. Apparently from the negative reviews this building is not very accessible for the disabled.

I cannot argue with the negative reviews. Most of the employees are rude. Not to mention the wast of tax payer money for their joke of a security system. We are paying what $120k-$230k for a deputy dog and his side kick? At least have the grumpy sheriff wear a chuck e cheese outfit. Dude work for the TSA if you are that bored with your job.
