Where do I go to criminal court in Vermont?

Published by Jessica Burke on November 5, 2019

The Vermont criminal citation forms do not always tell defendants where the court is that they need to appear at for their arraignment. Typically, Vermont criminal defendants receive one of two forms when they are cited to court: (1) a Flash Cite or (2) a form 332 citation that is pink and about a third of a size of a whole sheet of paper.

The form will say what county the criminal court you need to appear at is in, but it often won’t give the address of the building. A list of all of the Vermont State Courts with their physical addresses can be found here.

There is a criminal court in each of the fourteen Vermont counties. The physical address for Vermont criminal courthouses are:
