Effective July 1, 2010, the fee for a copy of documents at all West Virginia Circuit Courts will increase from $.50 to $.75 per page.  This fee increase is per state legislation - Senate Bill 471. The original version of the bill had the copy fee at $1.00, but the final enrolled version set the fee at $.75.

Bill SB471 can be viewed at www.legis.state.wv.us/Bill_Status/bill_status.cfm, which gives a nice overview of the many Circuit Courts fees set by statute.
