                                             How much does it cost to file a Dispossessory action?

If you are suing someone you must pay a filing fee and a service fee. There is also a modest convenience fee for filing online that can be claimed as a Court cost. Court costs are County specific, but generally the filing fee is around $55.50. The person you sue must be served the Complaint and Summons by the Sheriff, and you pay a service cost of approximately $25.00 per Defendant. (Example: sue one Defendant - the cost is approximately $80.50; two Defendants - the cost is approximately $105.50 - plus the online filing fee if applicable). At the Judge's discretion, if you win the case, the person you sue typically reimburses Court costs.
