Rapides Parish Courthouse

I vote here regularly, the staff is kind and helpful. The building is gorgeous and well maintained. You feel the history just walking in.

If you file anything with the clerk of court be sure to get a copy and check your stamp date is correct. Did you know July 33 is really Aug the 2nd. this is per Judge Monique Rauls.

My family just adopted a sweet girl forever into our family and although it was a wonderful event on it's own, every person we came in contact with made it even nicer. The security guard at the entrance was efficent and was talkitive and made our kids comfortable going through the security scanner. The elevator operators were friendly and funny! The judge and the others who handled our family's adoption were so kind and encouraging and truly seemed grateful and excited for us. Maybe it was the happy event or the Christmas cheer in the air, but our experience here was joyful. Thank you Rapides Parish for being so pleasant for our special occasion.

Clean, staff friendly (including inmate trustee elevator operators). I do wish the police jury would fix the third elevator. It's been over a year since it last worked.

Parishes were used to identify areas of the church. Funny how such a corrupted state uses the same name for counties. I'd much rather call them swamps. Welcome to Rapides swamp!
