Announcement Regarding Initial Fee of $19.00
Tyler has received several inquiries concerning the newly implemented $19.00 eFileGA fee and how this fee is assessed. The first subsequent filing into a case for 2019 will be charged the $19.00 fee and any additional subsequent filings into that case by that specific filer from that firm, will not be charged the $19.00 fee.
The confusion arises when multiple subsequent filings are submitted by the same filer into the same case in a relatively short period of time. The $19.00 fee will appear to the filer until the first subsequent filing is accepted by the Clerk. At that point, Chase (payment processor) captures the $19.00 fee on that filing only and all the remaining submissions that haven’t yet been accepted by the Clerk will not process the $19.00 fee.
If you have any questions, please reach out to our Tyler Court Support team for more information at 877-687-7870.
