This community and government location is situated in a historic building that serves as the third courthouse for Tyrrell County. The structure's design blends Italianate and Federal stylistic elements, making it a compact yet dignified structure. The location offers wheelchair accessibility, including a wheelchair-accessible restroom, parking lot, and entrance. The community may be small, with a population much smaller than other counties in North Carolina.Some aspects of the location are efficient, as seen in a civil marriage ceremony that was described as straightforward and efficient. The staff appears to be knowledgeable about the county's history, which is highlighted in the displays around the courthouse.However, there have been complaints about disorganization and a lack of communication from the staff. In one instance, a court date was rescheduled without notice to the individual, resulting in wasted time and gas money. The fines and fees associated with traffic tickets were also seen as excessive and unreasonable.The location's hours of operation are standard, with the courthouse open from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. There is no access to the location on weekends.It's worth noting that the county's history dates back to 1729, when it was established to make court access easier for residents in the wetland-heavy area. The county was named after Sir John Tyrrell, one of the Lords Proprietors of Carolina.
