FILING FEE SCHEDULE--DISTRICT COURT AND MAGISTRATE DIVISION
DISTRICT COURT FILING FEES
COMMENCING A CIVIL ACTION
A civil action is commenced by filing a complaint, petition, application, or other document that begins a new civil lawsuit. A civil action is commenced if the clerk opens a new case file rather than filing the document in an existing case file. Whether a filing fee is charged does not depend upon the title or name of the document filed, but upon whether it commences a new case.
In a civil lawsuit, a party usually seeks to obtain an order or judgment from the court against another party. However, there are some times when a clerk will have to file a document, such as registering a trust, when it will not commence a lawsuit. In such instances, no filing fee will be charged.
Only one filing fee is charged even if the complaint, petition, or application includes two or more separate claims for relief. If the claims would have differing filing fees if they were filed as separate actions, then the appropriate fee is whichever is higher; for example, if one action was filed to have a marriage annulled or, if that were denied, to obtain a divorce, the appropriate filing fee would be the fee for filing a divorce action because it is higher than the filing fee for an annulment. Likewise, if one action was filed to compromise a minor's claim and to appoint a conservator, the appropriate filing fee would be for the appointment of a conservator.
The fee for opening any civil case not found on this schedule is $88.00, and the correct filing fee code is “A”.
APPEARING IN A CIVIL ACTION (Category I)
An appearance is the first document filed by a party (other than the plaintiff or petitioner) in an existing civil action, regardless of whether it is filed pro se or through counsel and regardless of the title of the document (e.g., “notice of appearance,” “answer,” “motion,” or other title).
If a party acting pro se has already filed an appearance in an action and then an attorney later files a “notice of appearance” to appear on behalf of that party, the attorney's “notice of appearance” does not constitute an appearance for the purpose of assessing a filing fee because the party has already appeared in the action p
