Limestone County is located in the 39th Judicial Circuit for Alabama. Like most Alabama counties, both the Circuit Court and the District Court can issue arrest warrants for the county. Unfortunately, Limestone County is also like most Alabama counties because it does not have online databases for active and outstanding arrest warrants or criminal records. There are state online databases for case information; however, you must pay a fee and be a registered user to get information. Therefore, to get information about warrants or criminal cases, you must research the case files in person at the county courthouse.

Limestone County Courts

The county clerk’s office is located at 200 Washington Street West, 1st Floor, Athens, AL 35611.

Courthouse office hours for the public are Monday through Friday from 8:00 am through 3:30 pm.

Limestone County Sheriff’s Office

The Limestone County Sheriff’s Office handles serving active warrants issued by the Circuit and District Courts. To inquire about warrants, contact the warrants or records clerk at the Sheriff’s Office. The email addresses for both clerks are located on the sheriff’s website with additional office contact information. The clerk will be able to direct you regarding how to conduct a warrant search through the sheriff’s office.
