The Minnesota state legislature approved an increase in civil court filing fees beginning on August 1, 2025. The fee for filing a new petition or appeal in Tax Court Regular Division will increase from $285 to $310. The filing fee for Small Claims Division remains $150. (NOTE: When filing new property cases in district court, existing library fees will still be added to the base fees; check locally for details.)
