How to File at Centralized Small Claims Office (CSCO)
E-filing available
This court accepts electronic filing for small claims cases.
Note: Connecticut Judicial Branch E-Services portal accepts small claims filings from both attorneys and pro se litigants as of 2026. CSCO handles all electronic intake. CT's centralized e-filing model differs from most states — there is no need to determine 'which courthouse to e-file with' because all filings go to CSCO regardless of which Judicial District ultimately hears the trial.

File by mail
Most small claims courts accept filing by mail — check with this court first. Typically you mail your completed forms with the filing fee plus a self-addressed stamped envelope for your returned copies.
