Superior Court Fee Increase Effective June 27, 2012


Last week, Governor Brown signed the fiscal year 2012-2013 state budget and related "trailer bills."  One of the trailer bills contained various increases in civil filing fees, and in the case of jury deposits, a change in the deadline for making deposits.  

The following link provides a complete listing of filing fees; those which are highlighted in yellow denote changes and increases – Superior Court of California State Civil Fee Schedule

As in the past, the changes are said to take effect immediately, although the Ventura County Superior Court has not announced when it will implement the new fees.

All together, these fees are expected to raise approximately $50 million annually to support the court system.
