Circuit Court Alert:
Financing statements are filed in the Public Service Division of the Fairfax Circuit Court.

Financing statements are accepted in-person and through the mail. The cost to file a financing statement is $20.00. Cash, business checks, certified checks or money orders are accepted. Please make checks payable to the Clerk of the Court. If filing in person, Visa and MasterCard are also accepted (with a 4% processing fee). Please do not send cash through the mail.
