Criminal Court Process for Bibb County Alabama

Centreville, the seat of Bibb County, is where cases for people at the Bibb County Jail are heard. The county belongs to Alabama's 4th Judicial Circuit.

Bibb County Courthouse
35 Court Square East, Centreville, AL 35042
Circuit Clerk Kayla Cooner: 205-926-3103
Open Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m., closed for lunch noon–1:00 p.m.

  • Circuit Court: felony prosecutions, appeals, and any case tried to a jury.
  • District Court: lesser crimes (misdemeanors), traffic tickets, and the early stages of a felony, such as the first appearance and preliminary hearing.
  • Municipal courts in Brent, Centreville and other towns hear their own city cases; each city hall has the schedule.

Researching a case: check Alacourt, the public access portal, or the Bibb County docket list, and pay fines through AlaPay. Self-represented people can register for e-notices on AlaFile and then take the printed form and a photo ID to the clerk. Clerk staff can't offer legal advice; that has to come from an attorney.

How a felony moves: booking at the Brent jail, a first appearance where bond is addressed, a preliminary hearing, grand jury review, arraignment in Circuit Court, a plea or trial, and finally sentencing. A court-appointed lawyer is available to anyone who can't pay for one.
