If a party makes an application to be qualified as an indigent litigant as set forth in ORC 2323.311, the Court may waive the payment of the filing fee. Be advised that submission of a deposit or fee waiver request does not necessarily mean the request will be granted by the Court. A filer’s ability to pay costs is subject to review by the Court at any time during the proceedings. Fee Waiver Affidavit packets are available below for each Court.

If you would like to make a payment on court costs that have been billed in a particular case, you may do so by visiting one of the Clerk’s offices in person, by mailing a check or money order to the Clerk’s office, or by paying online using the link below. Cases that are still pending, in which the Court has not addressed responsibility of costs, will not be available for payment online.
*Please note that pursuant to ORC 301.28, credit card payments (in person or online) are subject to a 2.95% processing fee (with a $1.00 minimum). Online payments are also subject to a $3.50 transaction fee. These fees are nonrefundable and are collected by a third-party vendor, not the county.
