Subject: 
FY 2022-2023 Fill the Gap Certification 
 
 
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is required to certify by authority of ARS 
§41-2421 (Fill the Gap Legislation) that total revenues received in Fiscal Year 2022-23 
by the Superior Court and Justice Courts are five percent or greater than revenues 
received in Fiscal Year 1997-98 (base year). This certification authorizes the County 
Treasurer to release the five percent set aside money withheld from these revenues 
during the past year. 
 
The attached schedules summarize fines, fees, penalties, surcharges, sanctions, and 
forfeitures collected by the Superior Court and Justice Courts for Fiscal Year 2022-23 
as compared to Fiscal Year 1997-98 (base year). These schedules show that amounts 
collected in Fiscal Year 2022-23 exceed the base year (Fiscal Year 1997-98) by more 
than five percent for both Courts.
