Georgia Courts: Online Community Service

How Community Service Works in Georgia Courts

Under Georgia Code § 42-8-70, courts may order community service as an alternative to a fine or imprisonment.

Georgia has 159 counties, and community service is ordered by its superior courts, state courts, and magistrate courts. The court that hears your case sets how many hours you need, the deadline and how you prove completion.

• Population: 11 million (U.S. Census Bureau, 2023)
• Counties: 159 (Georgia Courts)
• Annual Court Cases: 2 million+ (Georgia Administrative Office of Courts)

If your order allows online hours, you can complete them with us and submit your certificate and hour log the way your court instructs. Our Georgia community service guide covers the state’s courts and rules in more detail, and you can read how to complete community service online in Georgia.
