In In order to offset the judiciary's budget deficit, the State of Minnesota is significantly increasing the filing and surcharge fees it will charge beginning July 1, 2009.
Please note that Olmsted County was already charging $255 for a Civil Filing Fee, $335 for a Dissolution and $65 for a Conciliation (Small Claim) Fee, so it is likely that the filing fees in Olmsted County beginning on July 1, 2009 would become $325 for a Civil Filing Fee, $405 for a dissolution and $80 for Small Claims. However no official announcement has been made as of yet. The most significant increase (percentage wise) is the cost of filing a motion, which will increase from $55.00 to $100.00.
