PAPER SERVICE

To more effectively assist you in serving your papers we will need to know information about the person(s) to be served such as home and work addresses, a physical description (if you have one), phone numbers, and vehicle information.  We cannot serve your papers unless you provide a current physical address.  We require a full set of paperwork to serve upon each person, plus a copy of the front page of the papers that we will attach to the affidavit that is returned to you.

Prepayment is not needed; we will bill you when service is completed.  The county board set the fees at $40 for each service of a paper or attempted service of a paper, for each defendant or person.  When a deputy stand-by is required there is a charge per hour for the deputy’s time.  Example of a stand-by would be when persons are evicted and a moving company is removing property, a deputy would stand-by to maintain order, but not to actively assist in the moving of the property, etc.  You can call 715-839-5160 for the current hourly charge.
