WHERE OFFICES TO BE LOCATED (§ 17.1-206)

The clerk&#8217;s office of every circuit court, or any division thereof, of any
county or city shall be kept at the courthouse of such county or city, unless
there is a failure by the proper authorities to provide an office there, in
which case the clerk&#8217;s office may be kept at such other place within the
county or city as the court may direct. However, nothing in this section shall
prohibit the establishment of a clerk&#8217;s office satellite facility or annex
which is not located at the courthouse; provided that recording of all land
records, docketing of all monetary judgments, filing of U.C.C. financing
statements, and filing of matters at law and in equity shall be conducted at the
courthouse location. All expenses related to the establishment and operation of
a satellite facility or annex shall be the responsibility of the locality.
