It can be genuinely cumbersome to find information about active warrants from Banks County through online sources. This, despite the Georgia Bureau of Investigation providing an online service to find convicted felons in the state at https://gta.georgia.gov/georgia-felon-search.It, will be worthwhile to understand that the state agency will offer only records about cases that culminated in a conviction through their internet service.

So, if you want to conduct a regular warrant search where you get a low down on all active and outstanding warrants, driving down to the sheriff’s office or the local courthouse will be a better option. For one, you will also be able to see if your subject is on the list of the county’s most wanted, which is usually displayed at the precinct.

Also, the magistrate’s office will provide details on bench warrants issued against the person in question. Similarly, you can find civil cases against this individual through the office of the clerk of court. These agencies can be reached at:

  • The office of the magistrate: 144 Yonah Homer Rd, Homer, GA 30547
