Clerk of Court Revenue Remittance System

Florida Clerks of Court and County Comptrollers collect documentary stamp tax, nonrecurring intangible personal property tax, and more than 151 different fines and fees that are distributed to various agencies. Florida law requires these funds be electronically remitted to the Florida Department of Revenue for distribution. Clerks and comptrollers transfer funds for all state agencies to the Department in a single electronic transaction through the Clerk of Court Revenue Remittance System.

Remittances Due Weekly

Remittances for documentary stamp tax and nonrecurring intangible personal property tax are due on a weekly basis. The municipality or county officer must complete the online transaction before 5:00 p.m., ET, on the sixth working day following the close of the week in which the funds were received.

Remittances Due Monthly

Remittances for related fees, services charges, court costs, and fines are due on a monthly basis. The clerk must complete the online transaction before 5:00 p.m., ET, on the last working day before the 10th day of the month immediately following the month in which the funds were collected.
