Georgia Eviction filing fees
How much does it cost to file an eviction in Georgia?
Magistrate court filing deposit set by local rule, capped at $22.00, plus the actual cost of service (capped at the sheriff's fee); other statutory surcharges are added, so county totals vary (O.C.G.A. § 15-10-80 as revised by HB 999 (2026)).
