Pasco County, Florida uses a sliding scale that varies greatly percentage wise based on the amount you are attempting to recover.
$1.00 to $100.00: $ 55.00
$100.01 to $500.00: $ 80.00
$500.01 to $2,500.00: $175.00
$2,500.01 to $5000.00: $300.00
That is a lot considering the amount someone is attempting to recover. Example, if you are trying to recover $750.00, your filing fee of $175.00 is roughly 23% of what you are trying to recover in the first place! And that does not include the $17.00 fee on top for preparation of summons. If the amount in controversy is higher, for example $4,000.00, then the fee of $300.00 is just under 8%. That may be easier to justify in terms of cost, but is still a good chunk of what you are owed.
