Fee Waiver Indigency in Utah

In Utah, a fee waiver for indigency is governed by a 150% threshold tied to federal poverty guidelines under Utah Code § 78A-2-302 and Utah R. Civ. P. 73. The law allows a court to waive filing fees if a person’s household income falls at or below 150% of the federal poverty level. The statute sets out the specific factors and criteria the court considers when evaluating an indigency claim. The official source at le.utah.gov provides the exact statutory language and any exceptions. A worked example below demonstrates how the 150% figure applies to a hypothetical household. Use the DocketMath calculator to estimate whether your own income meets this threshold.
