I see that one can pay in person for tax certiorari filings. How does that work?
The attorney can file as many petitions as he/she wishes, in batches of 40 at a time, when the filer uses the template petition on the site. The filer can submit credit/debit card information with those filings, in which event the fees will be paid and index numbers issued forthwith and automatically. However, if the filer prefers, he or she may select an option to pay in person at the County Clerkâs Office. When that selection is made, the initiating papers can be submitted to the system, where they will be held in suspended status until the payment is delivered. Index numbers will not be issued at this point since the filing fees will not yet have been paid, but a confirmation of the receipt of these petitions will be transmitted to the filer. The attorney should then promptly, the same day or the next day, bring to the County Clerk a check in the total amount of the index number fees required and the numbers will be issued. The program will then transmit to the filer a confirmation
