NA = Not applicable Note: Amounts shown for Kern Probation represent the total amount of administrative fees collected in the given fiscal year. We exclude fiscal years 2014–15 through 2017–18 due to Kern County’s internal records retention policy. Amounts shown for CDCR, Contra Costa, and San Diego Office of Revenue represent the total amount of administrative fees collected that were ordered in the given fiscal year. Amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand. * Because of system limitations with San Diego Superior Court’s data system, it is not possible to know the administrative fees the court collected in any given year. Therefore, we are only presenting data on administrative fees provided by San Diego Office of Revenue, which largely collects restitution related to felonies. We present San Diego Office of Revenue’s victim restitution data through December 31, 2024.
