Refund of Overpayments (Amended January 1, 2012)

The Clerk of the Court or his designee shall be authorized to refund duplicate filing, admission or biennial fees. In addition, the Clerk of the Court or his designee shall be authorized to refund overpayments made in criminal cases, such as duplicate or overpayments for Special Assessments, Fines, and Restitution. A party or its counsel may request a refund by notifying the Clerk of the Court of its request in writing. If the Clerk of the Court verifies the error, he will process the refund by government check if the party or its counsel made the original payment in cash, by debit card, or by check.

If the party or its counsel made the original payment by credit card, the Clerk of the Court shall initiate a refund request through Pay.gov in the form of a credit to the credit card with which the original payment was made.
