Scam Alert: Fraudulent DMV Text Messages:

Fee & Bail Schedules

Fee Waiver

Litigants meeting statutory income limitations may be eligible for a waiver of court fees and costs. A request to waive court fees must be filed with the first document the litigant presents for filing a case. The request is reviewed by a judge and a determination is made as to whether the litigant is eligible for the waiver. The judge signs an order either granting the fee waiver or denying it. A clerk may also grant a fee waiver based on certain information.
