The Buckingham County courthouse was renovated in 2004, costing an estimated $8 million dollars. The renovation was much needed, adding new state of the art technology, ample office space, and spacious courtrooms. There are now four courtrooms compared to the one that was utilized before the renovation and expansion. The Circuit Court Clerk's Office was also expanded; this office is attached to the courthouse.

The courthouse complex houses the offices of the Commonwealth Attorney, Sheriff, Magistrate, Circuit Court and Clerk, Combined Court (General District and Juvenile & Domestic) and Clerk, judges, and probation.
