"Arizona Bankruptcy Filing Fee"
All Arizona bankruptcy cases require payment of a filing fee as a condition for filing the petition.
Debtors may pay filing fees in installments when supported by an official application. Failure to pay installments can, and probably will, result in
dismissal. Once the clerk accepts the filing fee and assigns a case number, deadlines begin counting downward.
| The Uniform Local Bankruptcy Rules, under Rule 6 (b)(1) provide "Every
petition shall be accompanied by the prescribed filing fee except as provided in subdivision (b)(2) of this
rule. [See Rule 1006, Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and schedule of fees in 28 U.S.C. 1930(a), as
amended.] The clerk shall collect such filing fees as well as all other statutory fees and charges provided
by Chapter 123 of Title 28, United States Code. |

a limited exception for certified legal document preparers provided that the services performed are in
