Kent County Courthouse Ops To Be Limited On Meyer's Inauguration Day

Operations at the Kent County Courthouse will be limited on Tuesday, Jan. 21, due to ceremonies related to the inauguration of Governor-Elect Matt Meyer.

Traffic disruptions and significant parking restrictions around the Kent County Courthouse are expected to make it difficult for individuals to get to the courthouse on that day, so many proceedings scheduled for Jan. 21, 2025, will be rescheduled or postponed.

Staffing at the courthouse will be limited, so individuals with business at the Kent County Courthouse on Jan. 21 should consider visiting on a different day. If you have a proceeding scheduled at the courthouse on Jan. 21, please check with your attorneys or the relevant court clerk to see if it has been rescheduled.

These restrictions do not apply to proceedings at Family Court (on Court Street) or Justice of the Peace Court 7 (on Bank Lane), as both facilities will be operating as usual on Jan. 21 or any remote proceedings scheduled to be conducted by the Zoom video platform.
