Booking a Court
Court policies are designed to establish fair and consistent access to the courts. Periods are normally 90 minutes in length and may be reserved by all VDO residents who have registered at the Hold My Court site with a valid email address. If you have not appeared at the court within ten minutes of your reserved time, the court is considered available for others to use.
