Williamsburg County Municipal Warrant Process
A municipal court in Williamsburg County hears town ordinance cases, traffic citations, and qualifying summary criminal matters. Miss a court date, and bench-warrant process can follow. The judge still decides that next step. South Carolina municipal judges hold magistrate-like criminal powers and no civil jurisdiction, and the court that issued the process keeps the key case information. A Sheriff list would not necessarily include a town warrant, and Williamsburg County has no public countywide warrant roster, so confirm a municipal case with the town clerk or judge first.
Williamsburg County Municipal Courts
The Judicial Branch directory lists four Circuit 3 municipal courts in Williamsburg County: Greeleyville, Hemingway, Kingstree, and Lane. Andrews Municipal Court appears under Georgetown Circuit 15. The correct court follows the place and jurisdiction of the citation, not just the town name. The official directory shows each municipal court's contacts.
Use the directory to reach the court that issued the citation or warrant.
| Town or court | Published contact | Local note |
|---|---|---|
| Greeleyville | 3 Toby Place, 843-426-2270 | Citation-number payment vendor; not a warrant search. |
| Hemingway | 110 South Main, 843-558-2424 | Town Hall is at a separate address. |
| Kingstree | 401 North Longstreet; clerk 843-355-8165 | Regular court Thursday at 3 p.m. |
| Lane | Highway 377/Lane Road, 843-387-5151 | Call to confirm the court's current location. |
| Andrews | Town Hall 843-264-8666 | Municipal court roster is in Georgetown Circuit 15. |

Williamsburg County Municipal Warrant Checks
No single online search covers city warrants here. Use the citation or court paper to identify the town, then call its clerk. If a related case shows up in the Public Index, write down the court, case number, and event date. The index is case context, not a complete municipal warrant roster. If a town case is not online, ask the court for its current status. A Williamsburg County FOIA request may reach only the county office named in it, so do not assume it sweeps in town records.
Kingstree Municipal Warrant Route
Kingstree Municipal Court holds regular court Thursdays at 3 p.m. in Town Hall. The town lists Municipal Court Clerk Amanda Phillips at 843-355-8165 and a separate police general number, 843-355-7484. Charges brought by Kingstree Police are heard in Municipal Court except General Sessions offenses. Fines can be paid at Town Hall by cash, certified check, money order, or credit/debit card, and the official court page links to PayThatTicket. The court publishes no warrant-status field. A missed date should be discussed with the clerk before any payment. See the town's Municipal Court contact and payment page for current instructions, since this Williamsburg County seat updates hours and procedures there.
Williamsburg County Municipal Warrant Records
The statewide bench-warrant form offers the best public schema for a municipal failure-to-appear warrant. A court entry may show a case number, issuing court, reason, judge, bond conditions, or return event. Not every field appears in the Public Index. No Williamsburg County town publishes a full public warrant roster.
| Case number | Links a citation or charge to its court record; local warrant formats are not published. |
|---|---|
| Issuing judge | Shows which municipal court can confirm the warrant and authorize recall. |
| Reason | May show a missed court setting or another failure to comply. |
| Bond or fine | Set or confirmed by the court; a payment vendor fee is separate. |
| Service return | Records the officer's result and may take time to reach the case index. |
Ask the Williamsburg County clerk what an entry means now rather than trusting a stale screen.
Greeleyville Municipal Warrant Payment Field
Greeleyville is the only top-five town in Williamsburg County with a clearly described online citation-payment vendor. Nexbillpay asks for a Citation Number, offers sign-in and sign-up controls, and charges a service fee. It shows no last name, date of birth, warrant number, issuing-court selection, or warrant status. Missing the citation number? The court says to call 843-426-2270. If the ticket has become a bench warrant, call before paying and ask whether the judge requires an appearance, bond, or new date. The receipt proves a payment submission, not a warrant recall. Use the Greeleyville court's payment portal only for its listed citation-payment function.
Hemingway Municipal Warrant Contact
Hemingway's court sits at 110 South Main Street, while Town Hall is at 108 South Main. The court number is 843-558-2424. The town administrative number is 843-558-2824, and a police contact is listed separately at 843-558-2551. Neither the town nor the Williamsburg County pages publish a warrant lookup or online payment form. Call the municipal court before appearing and ask whether the case is still a citation, has become an FTA warrant, or needs a judge's action. Confirm the exact building, because the town office and court do not share an address. The town ordinances establish the Municipal Court's local jurisdiction; see the official ordinance text.
Lane Municipal Warrant Listing and Complex
The Judicial Branch directory gives Lane Municipal Court as Highway 377/Lane Road, while the town contact page names the Lane Municipal Complex at 340 South Lane Road. Both list 843-387-5151. That difference is a reason to call before appearing, not a reason to assume a court listing is wrong. Lane publishes no warrant portal, citation search, or online recall form. For an ordinance or traffic matter in this Williamsburg County town, give the court the citation number, full name, date of birth, and missed date, then ask what the judge requires. Confirm the address for that specific transaction. The Lane Municipal Complex contact page shows the town's current location information.
Andrews Municipal Warrants Cross County Lines
Andrews Town Hall and its Municipal Court sit at 101 North Morgan Avenue, and the town answers at 843-264-8666. The complication is geography. Andrews straddles Williamsburg County and Georgetown, and the municipal court sits in Georgetown Circuit 15. The Williamsburg roster carries a separate Andrews Magistrate contact. So the incident county decides the docket your warrant lands in. Call first and ask which court holds the citation before you pay anything. The town's court page is only a contact landing page, not a warrant search or payment portal, and a Georgetown summary matter goes to 843-545-3631 at 110 North Morgan Avenue. The Georgetown roster helps you tell Andrews Municipal Court from Andrews Summary Court.
Clearing a Williamsburg County Municipal Warrant
Only the issuing court can recall a Williamsburg County municipal warrant. Nobody else has that power. Call the clerk and ask what the judge allows: payment, a reset, an attorney-arranged walk-through, or a bond appearance. Do not assume the town police can set a new court date, or that an online ticket receipt clears the case. Keep your citation, payment receipt, court order, and new date in one place. Ask when the court will update its record, and whether the Sheriff or town police needs notice of a recall. The county Magistrate Office handles county cases. It cannot stand in for the municipal clerk on a town citation.
Confirm first: Before traveling, ask the municipal clerk which location and judge handle the case and whether payment alone changes warrant status.
Williamsburg County Town Warrant Court Gaps
The Williamsburg County Sheriff publishes no town-by-town active warrant roster. A municipal bench warrant can sit with the local court even when the county Sheriff later serves it. A blank search on the Sheriff page or the county Public Index proves nothing about town process. South Carolina municipal courts hear municipal ordinance matters and qualifying criminal cases. For the full court map, see the Judicial Branch explanation of municipal court authority.
