The Bristol County Courthouse Complex directly abuts the Taunton Green Historic District, the City's central square.

[1] In 2008, an $86 million expansion and renovation project began at the site which is scheduled to include the construction of a new trial court and restoration of the superior courthouse.

Together with a location in Attleboro, the Registry of Deeds contains all the property transaction records for the northern part of Bristol County, Massachusetts.

The building has been plagued by water leakage and other structural problems, and also did not meet current ADA regulations which led to the district court business to be moved to a temporary location in the city of Taunton.
