Where the Money Goes ## The Four Things You Pay For Court, service and legal charges have different recipients and timing. Notice work and post-judgment enforcement require their own scope review. 01 ### Clerk Filing Fee The county clerk charges a filing fee to open the eviction case. Confirm the current filing charges for your case in the written quote. Confirm the case type and claim before determining filing charges; additional parties affect summons and service costs. Fla. Stat. 34.041 02 ### Summons Issuance Fee Summons issuance charges depend on the number of tenants named. Confirm those charges before filing. Unlike the filing fee, this cost scales with the number of tenants you name. Per-tenant cost 03 ### Service of Process & Writ Execution Service costs depend on the number of tenants, service method, and any additional attempts needed. If sheriff enforcement is needed after judgment, sheriff/writ work is one separate service and charge, confirmed in writing before work begins. Fla. Stat. 48.183 | Fla. Stat. 83.62 04 ### Attorney's Fees Our flat fee covers eviction filing through final judgment, including motions and hearings within the agreed matter. Notice preparation and posting are one separate service. Sheriff/writ work is one separate service and charge. Work beyond the agreed scope is separately confirmed in writing. Before work begins, we confirm the fee and how court filing, summons and service costs are treated in writing. Many Florida leases, and Florida Statute 83.48, allow a prevailing landlord to recover reasonable attorney's fees and court costs from the tenant.

The Real Cost ## How Procedural Errors Can Add Cost Notice, party-name, filing and service errors can create extra work, expense and lost time. Review the lease, ledger, ownership details and notice before filing rather than assuming a generic template fits the matter. A defect does not always require dismissal and refiling. Section 83.60(1)(a) provides an opportunity to cure notice or pleading deficiencies in the actions it covers. Any additional costs depend on the correction required and the procedural posture. Florida eviction is a summary procedure (Florida Statute 51.011), designed to be fast -- but only when the paperwork is correct. Getting the notice, the complaint, and the service right the first time is what keeps the case on the fast track. Common Questions ## Florida Eviction Cost -- FAQ How much does it cost to evict a tenant in Florida? Eviction costs depend on the county, number of tenants, service requirements, and scope of representation. FLA Evictions offers flat-fee representation. Contact us for a written quote identifying the services included, court and service costs, and any sheriff/writ charge. Are attorney's fees included in those court costs? No. The clerk filing fee, summons fee, service-of-process fee, and writ fee are paid to the clerk and sheriff. Attorney's fees are separate. FLA Evictions charges a flat fee so the cost is known up front, and under Florida Statute 83.48 and most leases, a prevailing landlord may be able to recover reasonable attorney's fees and court costs from the tenant. Does it cost more to evict multiple tenants in Florida? The clerk filing fee is charged once per case no matter how many tenants are named, but the summons and service-of-process fees are charged per tenant. Naming additional tenants increases the per-tenant costs but not the base filing fee. What is the most expensive mistake in a Florida eviction? Avoidable notice, naming and service errors can add time and expense. Not every defect requires refiling: section 83.60(1)(a) provides an opportunity to cure in the actions it covers. Ask which documents should be reviewed before filing. How long does an eviction take in Florida? There is no guaranteed completion date. Timing depends on the required notice, service of the summons, the tenant’s response, any court-registry issues, the court’s calendar, and the sheriff’s availability. We explain the next procedural step after reviewing the case documents. ### Related Pages [#### How to Evict a Tenant in Florida The full step-by-step Florida eviction process, from the 3-day notice through the writ of possession.
