Probate Filing Fees
Specific fee amounts are not available for this county. Wisconsin sets the probate filing fee statewide under Wis. Stat. § 814.66(1)(a): $20 if the net value of property subject to administration is $10,000 or less, otherwise 0.2 percent (0.002) of the net value, computed when the inventory is filed. Wisconsin has no separate probate tax. Certified copies, certificates, and other clerk services carry additional statutory fees. Verify the current amount and any local surcharges with the Register in Probate before relying on a figure.
