Start with the court named on your papers
Dougherty County’s Clerk of Court lists its court-record office at 225 Pine Avenue, Suite 126, Albany, GA 31701, phone 229-431-2198. Its mailing address is PO Box 1827, Albany, GA 31702. The street address and mailing address serve different purposes; do not treat the post office box as a hearing location.
The county clerk page links a combined civil and criminal case-search resource and a real-estate record system. Those links identify record resources, but they do not establish that a particular record is available, complete, current, or accessible through a search. The clerk contact does not determine an individual’s hearing venue. Check the named court and current notice for the matter at hand.

Dougherty County and Albany municipal contacts differ
The Dougherty County Clerk of Court at 225 Pine Avenue is distinct from Albany Municipal Court. Albany Municipal Court lists an administrative contact at 240 Pine Avenue, Room 150, phone 229-431-2865. These are separate offices at different Pine Avenue addresses; the county clerk’s address is not Albany Municipal Court’s administrative contact.
Albany Municipal Court identifies some hearings at the Albany Law Enforcement Center, 201 West Oglethorpe Boulevard, and custody-related proceedings elsewhere. Its administrative address should not be assumed to be the venue for every hearing. Use the named court and location on the person’s current notice rather than relying on a directory label or an address alone.
