Starting July 1, 2005, the jurisdiction for Indiana’s small claims dockets will increase from $3,000 to $6,000 pursuant to Indiana Code 33-29-2-4
I’ve been having a tough time figuring out what the actual small claims filing fee is jumping to. I called two county clerks on Monday and the Indiana Supreme Court. Everybody agreed fees were going up on July 1, but nobody seemed to know by how much. I heard one person say $70 + $10 for each additional defendant. But, I went to one of the statutes governing court fees and couldn’t get the math to come up to the $46 it is now, so I’m clearly missing something.
