Courts Maintenance

According to General Statutes (NCGS 7A-VI), the County is responsible for providing facilities for the courts.

This cost center records facility fees collected through the Cabarrus County court system and accounts for the expenditures necessary to support and maintain the courthouse, law library and other court-related facilities.

The courthouse expansion capital is projected to provide 240,000 of new gross square feet and renovations of 72,000 gross square feet for court related functions. Space will be provided for the following end users: District Attorney’s Office, Clerk of Courts, Judges’ Office, Courthouse Security, Guardian Ad Litem, Community Corrections, Juvenile Justice, and Mediation/Dispute Resolution. The projected plan calls for construction of a total 11 courtrooms (District, Superior and Triage) with shell space provided for future courtroom construction. Construction began in CY 2020 and be completed in mid CY 2024.
