Clerks 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
Clerks of Court Revenue Remittance System (CCRRS).
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.
