Filing Fee Updates
Legislation effective August 2, 2012 changed the terminology for actions to review a final administrative decision (formerly referred to as administrative reviews). The cases continue under the civil case category, however, the initiating document formerly filed as a “Complaint” in Superior Court is now titled a “Notice of Appeal pursuant to ARS 12-904” and the initial response, formerly filed as an “Answer” is now titled a “Notice of Appearance pursuant to ARS 12-907.” If this is your practice area, please include the statutory cite in the title of the document when filing. This will reduce confusion and errors related to other appeals. The filing fees remain the same and the Clerk’s Office has updated the filing fee web page with the new terminology. This change effects decisions from administrative agencies appealed to Superior Court. For the full scope of the changes, including the specific statutes impacted, see Senate Bill 1193 from the 50th Legislature, Second Regular Session, posted online at http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/50leg/2r/laws/0322.pdf.
The Clerk’s Office updated its fee list to include documents where the $15 Arizona Lengthy Trial Fee applies, based on Administrative Order 2012-68 from the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court designates which filings are assessed the fee per state statute. Each county’s Clerk will update its records to reflect the changes.
