7 This column shows the fee under GC 70613.5 for a filing increasing the amount at issue in a limited civil case from $10,000 or less to more than $10,000, but not to exceed $25,000. The fee reflects the incremental amount that the first paper fee for a case with more than $10,000, but not to exceed $25,000 at issue exceeds the first paper fee for a case with $10,000 or less at issue. 8 These uniform filing fees apply to both first paper filings and response filings in limited, unlimited, family law and probate cases. 9 Under the Uniform Civil Fee legislation, the standard distributions to the State Court Facilities Construction Fund are

$20, $25 and $35 depending on the level and type of filing. In Riverside, San Bernardino and San Francisco the distribution to the SCFCF is reduced to offset, to the extent possible, the local courthouse construction surcharge. 10 In Riverside the maximum surcharge allowed by statute is $50 under GC 70622. As of January 1, 2009, the surcharge is $50 for all cases. 11 In San Bernardino the maximum surcharge allowed by statute is $35, which is applied to all first paper filings.
