Commissioners approve 60-month Equivant court-software agreement with six-figure service fees recorded
Summary
The Board approved a 60-month licensing agreement with Equivant for CourtView Justice Solutions Suite for the Probate/Juvenile Court, with year-one subscription and hosting fees listed and substantial service fees recorded in the motion.
The Washington County Board of Commissioners approved a 60-month software licensing agreement with Equivant for the Probate and Juvenile Court on Jan. 29, 2026.
Commissioner Eddie D. Place moved and Commissioner Ronald G. Nohe seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The county recorded year-one costs in the motion: subscription fees of $57,872.65, hosting fees of $11,250 and service fees of $343,075.50. President Charlie L. Schilling said the software "is required for the court."
The agreement’s initial term is Jan. 1, 2026, through Dec. 31, 2031. The board did not specify whether the recorded service-fee figure covers the full 60-month term or represents an itemized year-one obligation; the motion as read lists those three dollar amounts as the year-one costs.
The county clerk’s office will maintain records of the agreement and the board indicated the contract is required to support court operations. The board’s roll call recorded unanimous approval.
