As amended through September 23, 2024

Rule 21.14 - COLLECTION OF FEES

A. The e-filing of a document requiring payment of a statutory filing fee to the Clerk of the Court in order to achieve valid filing status shall be filed electronically in the same manner as any other e-file document.

B. All Subscribers maintain a valid credit card on file with the e-filing vendor for the payment of statutory filing fees.

C. Fees charged to E-filing subscribers by the vendor for vendor services are solely the property of the vendor and are in addition to any statutory fees associated with statutory filing fees.

D. At the end of each business day, the vendor shall electronically transmit to the clerk's bank account all statutory filing fees required for that day's electronic filings. The vendor shall electronically provide the clerk a detailed breakdown, including case number, type of transaction and party being billed for the payment for each deposit. The vendor shall act as a limited agent for the clerk and collect such required filing fees from the Subscriber through direct billing of that Subscriber, unless payment of the fee has been waived by court order or the law.

E. When the electronic filing includes a request for waiver of fees by a petition for indigence, payment of the requisite fees shall be stayed until the court rules on the petition.
