Fee Waiver Indigency in Arizona

Arizona’s fee waiver for indigency is governed by A.R.S. § 12-302(C), which sets a financial threshold at 150% of a federal guideline. The statute directs courts to consider whether a person’s income falls at or below that percentage when determining eligibility for a waiver of filing fees and other court costs. The rule also provides additional factors and exceptions that may apply, all of which are detailed in the official statute. The worked example below illustrates how the 150% figure is applied in a typical scenario. To estimate whether their own situation qualifies, a person can use the DocketMath calculator, which incorporates the exact statutory criteria from the linked source.
