The lower portion of the enclosed map is to be detached and placed on your dashboard as a parking permit for the Salinas Courthouse. A parking permit is not required at the Monterey or King City Courthouses. Monterey County Courts use security screening devices.
All persons entering court buildings are subject to search.
All weapons are prohibited. Do not bring knives, scissors, handwork needles, metal finger files, screwdrivers, tools, or any other sharp objects that may possibly be used a weapon. It is a felony to bring firearms or other unauthorized weapons into court buildings. Business attire is suggested. Jurors are advised to dress in layers as the temperature of the jury assembly areas and courtrooms can be unpredictable.
