  2. Title 12

A fee of Forty-five Dollars ($45.00) shall be charged and

collected for the filing of the affidavit for the commencement of

any action for an amount of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) or

less. Any action in excess of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00)

shall be subject to the filing fees provided in Title 28 of the

Oklahoma Statutes for the same kind of action as filed in district

court. For the filing of any counterclaim or setoff, fees shall be

charged and collected pursuant to Section 152.1 of Title 28 of the

Oklahoma Statutes. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1772 of

this title, no other fee or charge shall be collected by any officer

for any service rendered pursuant to the provisions of the Small

Claims Procedure Act, or for the taking of affidavits for use in

connection with any action tried pursuant to the provisions of the

Small Claims Procedure Act. If the affidavit and order are served

by the sheriff or a licensed private process server, the court clerk

shall collect the usual fee for the sheriff, which shall be taxed as

costs in the case. The fee paid to a licensed private process

server, as approved by the court, shall be taxed as additional costs

in the case. After judgment, the court clerk shall issue such

process and shall be entitled to collect only such fees and charges

as are allowed by law for like services in other actions. All fees

collected as authorized by this section and Section 1772 of this

title shall be deposited with other fees that are collected by the

district court. Any statute providing for an award of attorney fees

shall be applicable to the small claims division if the attorney

makes an appearance in the case, whether before or after judgment or

on hearing for disclosure of assets.
