When a change of venue is ordered, what must the petitioner pay?

When a change of venue is ordered, the petitioner must pay a transmittal fee under A.R.S. § 12-284 to the clerk of the court transferring the case. This fee covers the cost of transmitting and forwarding the case records to the new venue, ensuring the receiving court has everything needed to proceed. It isn’t a new filing fee, nor a service fee for process, nor the standard filing fee you pay when initiating a case. Those other fees relate to starting a new proceeding, serving documents, or filing a case, not to relocating an existing one.
