As of July 1, the Knox County Circuit, Chancery, Probate, Juvenile and General Civil Sessions court clerk’s offices will be using the schedule of fees included in T.C.A. 8-21-401 for all fees and court costs. The courts’ fees had previously been controlled by T.C.A. 8-21-409 but the General Assembly deleted that section in the past legislative session. The change brings the fees charged by all Knox County courts into alignment with other counties in the state. One other significant difference is that under T.C.A. 8-21-401 costs are charged and collected at the time the services are requested, except as otherwise provided in the code. Revised fee schedules are available here: Circuit Court, Chancery Court, General Sessions Court and probate fees.
