*The filing fee for a summary release does not include the costs to file any other additional forms. A 9.C is required for each motor vehicle and will be subject to additional court costs of $7.00 per form. Applications for Certificate of Transfer and each Certificate of Transfer shall be an additional $16.00 per each CT filed. Any other additional forms not usually filed with summary releases may be subject to additional fees. The filing or probating of a will with the summary release will incur additional costs. Please check with the deputy clerk for these costs before you file your paperwork.
