Licking Township in Muskingum County, not to be confused with Licking County, has two ZIP codes and sits 10.6 miles from the courthouse in Zanesville, and a process server there can deliver summonses, subpoenas, eviction notices and other court papers ordered online at the order page. A process server here takes orders for Standard Service at $185 (first attempt within 5 business days), Rush Service at $225 (within 48 hours) and 24-Hour Service at $265 (aimed at 24 hours), and each successful delivery is documented with a signed proof of service sent to you by email.
What a Process Server Costs in Licking Township
Muskingum County is not among the six areas the rates page names for 24-hour work, so the $265 tier's first attempt within 24 hours is not promised and hinges on submission time and server availability. For firm timing, Standard Service ($185) and Rush Service ($225) are the choices. The fee for a repeat after a failed delivery is $25. See rates.
Muskingum County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
