Superior Court of Gwinnett County Filing Fees and Waivers

Fee

$50

The clerk must promptly calculate transfer costs and the $50 fee, notify the plaintiff in writing, and the plaintiff must pay within 20 days; nonpayment results in automatic dismissal without prejudice unless the plaintiff is indigent, and the rule does not apply in Magistrate Courts.

Upon the filing of an order transferring a case with the clerk of the court entering such order, the clerk shall promptly compute the court costs, including the costs incident to preparing and transferring the record as provided in rule T - 12 and the $50 transfer fee provided for in rule T - 10, and notify counsel for plaintiff (or the plaintiff if there be no counsel) in writing of the amount of the court costs. Plaintiff shall pay the unpaid costs within twenty (20) days of mailing or delivery of the cost bill. If costs are not paid within twenty (20) days, the case shall automatically stand dismissed, without prejudice, except where the plaintiff has filed as an indigent. Rule T - 11 shall not be applicable in Magistrate Courts.

Fee

A $50 transfer fee is automatically imposed unless the court expressly determines otherwise or the transfer concerns a Magistrate Court.

Unless the court in its discretion expressly determines otherwise in such order of transfer, and except in Magistrate Courts (see OCGA 15-10-80), a transfer fee of $50 shall automatically be imposed.
