Florida Clerk of Court and County Comptrollers collect millions of dollars on behalf of the State that must be distributed to various agencies. This online remittance system was developed in 2002 pursuant to legislation, which mandated that all funds be electronically remitted to the Department of Revenue for distribution to other state agencies.
Prior to 2002, each clerk or comptroller wrote a separate check to each state agency, several times each month. This system enables clerks and comptrollers to transfer funds for all state agencies in a single electronic transaction.
Through the use of this system, the clerk offices remit documentary stamp tax, Class C intangible tax, and over 151 different fines and fees to 52 trust funds managed by 19 state agencies.
Help is available 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday through Friday.

Clerk of Court Revenue Remittance System Update
The Florida Department of Revenue has developed an option that will allow an upload process to the Clerk of Court Revenue Remittance System (CCRRS) for fines and fees. This functionality will be available to you on March 25th. Please note that taxes will not be included in the upload process. There is no cost to the Clerks’ offices in utilizing this upload function. The idea is to save you time and reduce any errors when making your monthly remittances that might occur when manually keying the data. Please keep in mind that this is a tool to help you, and it is not a mandatory process. You can continue to manually key the data into the CCRRS.
We have provided a file that can be used as your template for uploading, or your system can be modified to include our required fields. If you're able to use our file as a template, then you can use a look up function in Excel to pull in your figures from your files using the line number column. Once this is done, the file can then be saved in the .csv format for uploading in the CCRRS. It would be necessary to keep the amount column in a very general format and not formatted with any commas as this would cause errors in the upload. If you do not want to use our file, then we would need to discuss options in your file output to include our necessary fields for upload. Please contact Marsha Revell at revellm@dor.state.fl.us, or revenueaccounting@dor.state.fl.us if you are interested in this process, and we will work with you on testing your file formats prior to utilizing the upload functionality.
DOR File Template descriptions:
The first column is the line number and is not in CCRRS, however, it is on our worksheets that we provide you. We believe that this field is in your system for downloading purposes, please let us know if it is not. This is the field that you can use with a look up function in Excel to populate the amount columns. The next column is the field screen which represents the Court Related I (CR1), Court Related II (CR2), and Court Related III (CR3) on the CCRRS. The next column is the tab name such as Filing Fees tab, Motor Vehicle tab and Court Cost tab, etc. The next column is the field name which is not in CCRRS but is a mandatory field used for reporting purposes and must be included in the file. The last column is for the amount, which can not be formatted with commas for this process to work. If you're using Excel, then please save this file as a comma delimited file type (.csv).

To assist in preparing your remittance submission, you may wish to print blank copies of each agency page to use as a worksheet. To do so, go to each agency page and click the "Print this page" link at the top of the page. You'll then have an original set of worksheets that can be photocopied for future use.
Should you need to change the name of the Clerk, please send a request to the e-Services Unit explaining the reason for the change and include official documentation to substantiate the change.
Please refer to the CCRRS User's Guide
Fill in the name, phone number and e-mail address of the person responsible for submitting the revenue remittance. This will be the person the Department contacts if problems occur with the transmission/payment.
As soon as you determine that a submission has been made in error (i.e., funds entered on incorrect line, incorrect amount of funds entered, etc.), contact the Department of Revenue. Our Revenue Accounting Section will gladly facilitate the correction. If the error involved your bank routing and account number, see, "Replacing a failed electronic payment."
Once you have submitted filings using the new system, they will be stored for review in the Remittance History area. They will also be listed here (every remittance will be listed here until the detail is posted and the payment is fully processed between financial institutions; do not assume that because a remittance is listed here it represents a failed payment).
To replace a failed payment, simply select the item that failed, in the Clerk of Court Return and Remittance System. Then click "Select" to proceed to the payment screen. The failed item and its detail have been selected and now the user will select the bank account from which to make the replacement payment. Submit payment. No guessing about dollar amount and no need to re-enter line items. Contact the DOR Clerk of Court Helpdesk for assistance.
