3. Issuing a Final Order, Decree, or Judgment When Case Ends
When your case ends, the court will issue a final order, decree, or judgment. The date on your court order is important. That is when the clock starts to pay your deferred court fees.

Unpaid court fees are due within 30 days of the date of the final order, decree, or judgment.
 
4. Receiving the Notice of Court Fees Due
You will receive a Notice of Court Fees and Costs Due from the court when there is a final order, decree, or judgment in your case. The Notice will tell you:
  • How much money you owe
  • When the money is due
  • What steps to take to avoid a Consent Judgment entered against you
 
Amount Due Questions

If you have questions about how the amount due was calculated, you can ask a clerk for an itemized statement at no cost to you.
