Disclaimer

Filing Fee Finder is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Nothing on this site is legal advice, and reading it does not create an attorney-client relationship. The information here is general in nature and may not apply to your situation. For advice about your specific circumstances, talk to a licensed attorney in your state.

Fees change. Court filing fees are set by statute, court order, and local option, and they change on legislative and administrative cycles. We cite the official schedule each amount comes from, along with its effective date and the date we last checked it, but the clerk of the specific court is the only authoritative source for what you will pay today. Always confirm the current fee with the court before filing.

Filing fees are not the whole cost.Service of process, certified copies, publication notices, jury fees, and attorney's fees are separate. Amounts shown are the court's filing fees only unless a page says otherwise.

Fee waivers exist. Every state covered here has a procedure for waiving court fees for filers who cannot afford them. Mentions of that procedure are general information, not a prediction that a waiver will be granted in any particular case.

No endorsement. Links to government fee schedules are provided for verification. Filing Fee Finderis not affiliated with any court, clerk's office, or government agency.
