Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 2151.54, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 2151.54.
The juvenile court shall tax and collect the same fees and costs as are allowed the
clerk of the court of common pleas for similar services. No fees or costs shall be taxed in cases of delinquent, unruly, dependent, abused,
or neglected children except as required by section 2743.70 or 2949.091 of the Revised Code or when specifically ordered by the court. The expense of transportation of children to places to which they have been committed,
and the transportation of children to and from another state by police or other officers,
acting upon order of the court, shall be paid from the county treasury upon specifically
itemized vouchers certified to by the judge. If a child is adjudicated to be a delinquent child or a juvenile traffic offender
and the juvenile court specifically is required, by section 2743.70 or 2949.091 of the Revised Code or any other section of the Revised Code, to impose a specified sum of money as court
costs in addition to any other court costs that the court is required or permitted
by law to impose, the court shall not waive the payment of the specified additional
court costs that the section of the Revised Code specifically requires the court to
impose unless the court determines that the child is indigent and the court either
waives the payment of all court costs or enters an order in its journal stating that
no court costs are to be taxed in the case.
