Small Claims Mediation fees for Circuit Court cases

There is a fee for mediation separate from the fee you paid to the court. This fee is payable to Clackamas County and is not a court fee.

The fee is:

Fee per side Original claim amount
$50  $2,500 or less
$90 more than $2,500

If your court filing fees have been waived by a judge, your mediation fee is also waived.

Acceptable methods of payment:

  • personal check signed by the person whose name appears on the check
  • money order or cashier's check
  • Master Card, Visa or Discover Card only (not American Express, etc.)
  • cash (Exact change is appreciated. We have very limited change on hand)

The fee is due when you check in for mediation. Please do not send the fee in advance.
