Gahanna Mayor’s Court Appearance
Due to the current events surrounding COVID-19 and the associated restrictions regarding public gatherings, Mayor’s Court is modifying its standard court appearance. The amount of people allowed in the building at one time is being limited to conform to public gathering limits. You must wear a mask or facial covering and adhere to the following instructions when appearing in person:
- Upon arrival, please call 614-342-4080 to check in and remain in your vehicle until directed to do otherwise. A member of court staff will call your phone when it is time for your court appearance. Upon receiving this, you will place your mask or facial covering on and enter the side entrance of the City Hall building.
- Your temperature will be taken by a touchless infrared thermometer when you enter the building. If your temperature is 100.4 or higher, your case will be continued on your behalf to a new date and you will be sent home to consult with your doctor. If your temperature is less than 100.4, you will be allowed to enter the building for a security screening and directed to the Court for your appearance.
- Please do not bring any family members or children with you. Only you and your attorney, if applicable, will be allowed to enter the building for your court appearance.
If you are uncomfortable with an in-person appearance, a continuance can be requested at (614) 342-4080. You may also have an attorney appear on your behalf.
