Welcome to the official website for the Superior Court of Mariposa County.

Mariposa: Mother Of Counties

Mariposa County was formed in September 1850, even before California became the 31st State of the Union. Four years later the Mariposa County courthouse was built. The Court has conducted normal proceedings continuously in this courthouse ever since, the longest active period for any courthouse west of the Rocky Mountains.

Our Presiding Judge is the Honorable Wayne R. Parrish and Assistant Presiding Judge is the Honorable F. Dana Walton.

NOTICE OF FEE CHANGES

Effective January 1, 2009

The Judicial Council of California has announced that new and changed fees, penalties, and assessments will go into effect in the state’s trial courts effective January 1, 2009.

The changes result from the enactment of Senate Bill 1407 (Perata), Stats. 2008, ch. 311, on September 26, 2008. The legislation authorizes up to $5 billion in lease-revenue bonds to finance the construction, rehabilitation, renovation, and replacement of court facilities. The legislation increases civil filing fees and increases or establishes new criminal and traffic fees, penalties, assessments and parking penalties.

Each superior court will begin collecting the new and increased fees effective January 1, 2009.

The new civil fees will be stated on the revised statewide civil fee schedule. The final version of the fee schedule will be posted to the California Courts Web site at www.courtinfo.ca.gov and will also be available the clerk’s office.
