MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT JUDGE COST TABLE
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2022
ct 96 of 2010 renews and extends the requirement for annual court cost increases which was
first provided for by Act 167 of 1992, and more recently by Act 113 of 2001. The annual
increases in court costs are based upon the increases in the Consumer Price Index. The
applicable increase for this period is 1.4%. The regulation amounts have been rounded to the
next fifty cents for purposes of accounting and operational efficiency. Following this page is the
new cost table that includes the cost code amounts for 2019 through 2022.
