Marietta Civil Records and Cobb County Court

Marietta is the county seat of Cobb County, which means the county courthouses are located right in the city. All civil cases for Marietta residents and businesses are filed with the Cobb County Superior Court Clerk or the State Court Clerk, depending on the type and size of the civil claim. The Cobb County civil court records page covers the full structure of Cobb County's courts, including both clerk offices, their online tools, and what types of civil cases each court handles. Marietta parties and addresses appear frequently in Cobb County civil court records, both because of the city's size and because the county seat attracts civil filings from across the whole county.

Marietta also operates a Municipal Court for city ordinance violations and traffic matters within city limits. That court is not the source of civil lawsuit records. The civil court records most people search for, covering contract disputes, personal injury claims, property actions, civil judgments, and similar matters, are all held by the Cobb County clerk offices on Haynes Street and East Park Square. Both of those offices are within easy walking distance of each other in downtown Marietta.
