Going to court in Guilford County
Which courthouse hears your case depends on where the case is assigned, so read your citation or check the eCourts Portal rather than assuming. The Greensboro and High Point Clerk’s offices both close from 12:45 to 1:45 p.m. for lunch, which catches people off guard when they try to file or pay at midday. Each courthouse has a secure drop box outside that takes documents 24 hours a day: near the accessible entrance on South Eugene Street in Greensboro, and to the right of the public entrance at 505 East Green Drive in High Point.
In Greensboro, seven metered accessible parking spaces, good for up to 10 hours, are in the lot next to the courthouse at South Eugene and Washington Streets. The accessible building entrance is on South Eugene at West Sycamore Street.
Guilford County sits between our two regions, and both our Charlotte and Raleigh teams take cases here.
