How Much Does It Cost?

The filing fee ranges between $14 to $29 depending on whether the county you file the lawsuit in supports a dispute resolution center.

You may have some additional fees payable to the sheriff or process server to have the Notice of Small Claims served on the defendant.

As an alternative, you may serve notice on the defendant by registered or certified, return receipt mailing.

If you win your case, you are entitled to recover your costs of filing and service fees.
