Bath courthouse annex closed March 23-27 for move to new judicial center
With the new Bath County Judicial Center set to open March 30, court operations will be suspended March 23-27 to move to the new facility. The Bath County Courthouse Annex in which court business is now carried out will be closed. Court proceedings and other functions, including those of the circuit court clerk's office, will stop for the week. Located at 65 Water St., the two-story, 20,420-square-foot judicial center will house all local court operations. The new facility doubles the amount of space for the courts and increases security. It was designed after the 19th century Bath County Courthouse in Owingsville, where the courts were housed before moving to the annex in 1982. Once the judicial center opens, court schedules and phone numbers will remain the same as those at the annex. A dedication ceremony for the judicial center will take place later this year.

Requesting Court Case Records
Circuit court clerks are responsible for managing the records of Kentucky's Circuit, Family, District and Business courts. The Office of Circuit Court Clerk in each county is the starting point for requesting copies of court records from cases in that county. Call or visit the office to access case records. For more information on obtaining case information, visit the Request Court Records page.
Depending on the type and age of a case, the court case record may be stored in the court clerk's office or at a record facility, or it may have been destroyed as authorized by the Kentucky Court of Justice's Record Retention schedules. If the court clerk states the court case record is being stored at a record facility and is available for public access, the court clerk will identify the record facility and provide the case and file locator numbers to assist with access and copies.
