Parking at the Brantley County Superior Court is generally straightforward, with several convenient options available. There’s a free 27-space parking lot directly adjacent to the courthouse on Albany Avenue, making it an ideal choice for those visiting for passport services. However, during peak hours, particularly on weekdays between 10 AM and 2 PM, this lot can fill up quickly. Additional street parking is available on Brantley Street and Cherry Street, though these spots are subject to a two-hour time limit. For longer visits or when the courthouse lot is full, consider parking at the Brantley County Public Library lot, located just one block north on Albany Avenue, which typically has ample space. During the summer months, be mindful of the Georgia heat; it’s advisable to park in shaded areas if possible to keep your car cool.

It’s advisable to arrive at least 15 minutes early to secure parking, especially during busy times.
