Lake County Clerk of Court Fees
Most fees may be paid by check, money order, or credit card. A 3.5% nonrefundable fee is charged by the financial service provider for each credit card transaction. If using a credit card, a photo I.D. which matches the name of the credit card holder must be presented at the time of the transaction. Payment should be made payable to "Gary J. Cooney, Clerk of Court & Comptroller."
PLEASE NOTE: We do not accept cashier's checks more than two (2) months from the issue date. In some cases, a credit card payment is not accepted. View more information on general payments.
For your convenience, a drop box is located at two locations in Tavares and one location in Leesburg. Deposited documents/payments
will be transported to the Lake County Clerk's Office by the next business day. Click here to view a map of our convenient drop box locations.
Please note that dropping off items at these locations does not constitute filing your case with the court or meeting a payment deadline.
If you are concerned about meeting a filing or payment deadline, you should deliver your documents and/or payments to the Lake County Courthouse.
