Our phone services are currently down as County IT is completing an upgrade to our current phone system.

Over the next few weeks, we will be seeing upgrades to our phones, computers, servers, and credit card machines. All of these systems may be temporarily impacted until the upgrades are complete. We appreciate your patience as we work through these much-needed updates to our systems!

This week our team participated in the Keep America Beautiful "Greatest American Cleanup" event in celebration of America250. Thanks to Keep Gastonia Beautiful for the supplies and for a great team of people that were willing to stay after work on a Friday to cleanup the courthouse grounds. The Register of Deeds Team collected nearly 20 pounds of trash in about an hour!
