Small claims (up to $6,000) are heard on the District Court's small claims docket in each of Alabama's 67 counties; you file with the county Circuit Clerk, who keeps the District Court's records. A few counties have a second courthouse or division (e.g. Jefferson's Bessemer Division). File in the county where the defendant lives or, for a business, where it does business or where the problem happened.
