Center Township Process Server Costs
Short hop to Bryan, so the tier is the whole question. Standard Service, at $185, lets 5 business days pass before the first attempt, while Rush Service, at $225, shrinks that to 48 hours. 24-Hour Service at $265 reaches for within 24 hours but is not promised, as the rates page says, and depends on submission time and server availability. Papers that must go out again are $25 per attempt.
Williams County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
Most Center Township summonses are sent by the clerk as certified mail. The sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server delivers when the plaintiff has made a written request for personal or residence service. The Williams County page has more.
