Addressing Your Concerns
Where is the Sheriff's Office located?
We are located at 35 Court Street (Route 7) in Middlebury. It is the red brick building across from the Subway / Kinney Drugs plaza. There are a few parking spots right on Court Street in front of the building and parking on the South side and in the back of the building. Walk back to Court Street and the main entrance is at the front of the building up the concrete steps. Ring the video doorbell and you will be buzzed into the building. The front desk is through the door to the right when you walk in. If you need to use an entrance that is ADA compliant, give us a call at (802) 388- 2981 and we will let you in the back.
