Work is underway on the Harbour Road site and will continue for six months.
Tolmac Construction Ltd has signed on to deliver the works on behalf of Fingal County Council's Economic, Enterprise and Tourism Development Department.
The refurbishment will allow for greater public use of the protected structure with improved access for the public.

Following the completion of works, the Fingal Tourism Tourist information office will be relocated from an existing temporary cabin on Harbour Road and the main hall will be retained as a flexible space for Community use.
A significant element of the work involves forming a new entrance courtyard to the western side to accommodate ramped access and allow for universal access to the building. The new landscaped entrance courtyard will provide an elevated amenity space with seating overlooking the harbour area.
AnnMarie Farrelly, Chief Executive of Fingal County Council, added: "The refurbishment works of the Courthouse in Howth is another example of our continued commitment to investing in the heritage of Fingal. The refurbished building will provide much-needed community space for the residents of Howth."
