What a Process Server Costs in Jackson Township
For a township 8.0 miles from the Mansfield courthouse, the $265 tier needs the usual caution: the rates page does not promise a first attempt within 24 hours, names six other metro areas for early orders, and leaves Richland County to depend on submission time and server availability. Standard Service ($185) and Rush Service ($225) are the dependable tiers. Another attempt costs $25. See rates.
