History
The Volusia County Courthouse opened in 2001.[3][4] The courthouse is made of precast concrete with a brick facade.[3] The building is four-stories tall and contains a large clock tower.[5][3] The new courthouse was constructed as a project of then Volusia County Clerk Diane Matousek.[6] The old Volusia County Courthouse, built in 1929, was decommissioned as the local justice center upon the completion of the new courthouse in 2001.[7]
The courthouse is the official seat of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Volusia County and the judges of the county court.[8][9]
In August 2024, the Volusia Sheriff's Office arrested a man who brought a stolen and loaded firearm into the courthouse.[10] According to Sheriff Mike Chitwood, the suspect was a convicted felon who claimed to have a meeting with the elected public defender.[10]
