In consultation with local government and weather authorities, the Miami-Dade Courts, all Court Facilities, and all Clerk of Courts offices will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday, October 9-10, due to expected weather conditions caused by Hurricane Milton.

First Appearance hearings will take place on a weekend/holiday schedule.

Hearings previously scheduled to take place during the closure will be re-scheduled. Questions regarding an upcoming hearing should be directed to the presiding judge’s office – a judicial directory is found here.

Court payment due dates will be extended due to the closure. However, please note that payments may be made online via the Clerk of Courts website 24 hours a day.

The Eleventh Judicial Circuit will continue to closely monitor the path of Hurricane Milton in the coming days, and any further closures or changes to court schedules will be announced as soon as possible.
