Grand County District Court Guide

Note: Utah court fees are set STATEWIDE by Utah Code § 78A-2-301; there is no probate tax and no per-county probate filing fee anywhere in Utah. Section 78A-2-301(2) provides that there is no fee for a service or the filing of a document not listed in that section or otherwise provided by law, which is the statutory basis for every negative fee statement here. An application or petition to open a decedent's estate is a civil petition invoking the jurisdiction of a court of record not governed by another subsection, so it takes the § 78A-2-301(1)(a) fee of $375 (version effective 5/6/2026, superseded 1/1/2027). Filing probate documents from another state is $35 under § 78A-2-301(1)(m). A certified copy is $4 per document plus $0.50 per page (§ 78A-2-301(1)(z)); an exemplified copy is $6 per document plus $0.50 per page (§ 78A-2-301(1)(aa)). A small estate affidavit under § 75-3-1201 costs $0 because it is never filed with a court, and the § 75-3-1203 summary administrative procedure adds no fee because the $375 was already paid to open the estate. THE ESTATE-VALUE LADDER IN § 78A-2-301(1)(r) IS NOT THE FILING FEE: its verbatim lead-in is "The fee for filing any accounting required by law is", and it runs $15 / $30 / $50 / $90 / $175 by estate value. Publishing it as a probate filing fee would advertise a $15 Utah probate. Every figure was read in the versioned statute text and cross-read against the Utah State Courts fee schedule, table headed "Filing Fees - Effective May 6, 2026".
