If you need to visit the Berkeley County Magistrate’s Office in Goose Creek, take note: the current location at 303-B N. Goose Creek Boulevard will be closing soon as the office prepares to move to a new address.
Starting Monday, April 21, 2025, the existing office will be closed to the public. This closure will continue through Friday, May 2, 2025, during which time no public services will be available. However, if you already have a scheduled hearing, those will still take place from April 21 to April 24 as planned.
New Office Location and Reopening Date
The new permanent office will officially open on Monday, May 5, 2025, and will operate under normal business hours. The new address is:
653 Red Bank Road, Goose Creek, SC
If you need to contact the office, the phone number remains the same:
(843) 553-7080
What to Expect During the Move
During the two-week transition period, public access to services will not be available. Only court hearings that were already scheduled will be held. If you planned to visit for other services—like filing papers or making payments—you will need to wait until the new office opens in May.
Important Dates to Remember

The relocation of the Goose Creek Magistrate’s Office is a step toward providing better services in a new and improved facility. While the temporary closure might be inconvenient for a short time, the new location promises to offer more space and better accessibility for the public. If you need court-related services in late April, it’s best to call ahead or wait until the office reopens in early May.
