County services

Before you drive to Lawrenceville

Brunswick County is 17,434 people across 579 square miles, so a wasted trip to the counter costs most of an hour. Every service on this site says first whether it can be finished online, by mail, or in person, and what to bring if it does take the trip.

The original home of Brunswick Stew

The claim is on the county line signs and defended every fall at Stew Day. Between stew seasons there is the Tobacco Heritage Trail on the old rail bed, Great Creek Park, Lake Gaston, and two airports.
