NEW ELECTRONIC PAYMENT OPTION FOR NOTICE OF APPEAL FILING FEES IN CIVIL CASES- Los Angeles County Superior Court
Effective September 23, 2023, parties filing a Notice of Appeal in a civil case will no longer have to pay the required $775 Court of Appeal filing fee in person and instead may electronically pay this fee as part of the electronic filing (eFiling) process.
Pursuant to California Rule of Court 8.100(b), a Notice of Appeal must be accompanied by a $775 filing fee. This filing fee is received by the Superior Court and transferred to the District Court of Appeal.
The new electronic payment option will automatically appear during the eFiling process. Parties who would like to continue to pay this fee in person may continue to do so.
Paying fees for appeals in physical filing courts
For appeals from courts that still require paper filing, both the $100 Notice of Appeal fee and the $775 check are brought to the court when the Notice of Appeal is submitted.
If the court does not accept the filing, they return the fees.
If the filing is accepted, the court will forward the $775 on to the appellate court.
