As a result, Cherokee County opened a government annex in Woodstock. By the late 1980s, the county's courthouse in Canton was so overcrowded that many county offices were moved to the nearby Jones Mercantile Building. This structure was subsequently remodeled and became the Cherokee County Administrative Offices Building. In the early 1990s, Cherokee County voters approved a special-purpose local option sales tax that included $16 million for building a new courthouse complex in Canton, plus $3 million for building a new county government annex near Woodstock. Construction of Cherokee County's current courthouse began in 1993 and was completed the following year. At that time, all courts moved into the new building, although a few administrative departments remained in the old courthouse. Officially known as the Cherokee County Justice Center, the building houses eight courtrooms and all judicial offices.
