Court Rules

Filing Fees and Waivers

1947 rules across 60 courts

Filing fee rules determine when a filing requires payment, which payment methods are accepted, and how a fee waiver or deferral must be requested. State court filings often combine statutory fees, clerk payment procedures, portal convenience fees, and fee waiver forms. Missing a fee, using the wrong payment path, or omitting a required waiver request can delay acceptance or cause a filing to be returned for correction.
