Yes, there are additional fees associated with filing for bankruptcy in Oklahoma. These fees, called administrative fees, are set by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Oklahoma for each particular case.

An individual can expect to pay a filing fee when filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. The filing fees for Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 are currently the same at $335.
