Magnolia is a Stark County village that reaches into Carroll County as well, and a process server can be ordered online for its summonses, subpoenas, eviction notices and other court papers. Because the village straddles the line, first settle which county's court has the case; Standard, Rush and 24-Hour speeds are then offered, and a signed proof of service is emailed after a successful delivery.
What a Process Server Costs in Magnolia
Three prices cover Magnolia. For $185, Standard Service delivers a first attempt within 5 business days. For $225, Rush Service delivers one within 48 hours. For $265, 24-Hour Service aims at 24 hours, but submission time and server availability in the area control whether it can be done. A delivery that is not completed can be repeated for $25 per extra attempt. The rates page lists them side by side, and the order form is where a job begins.
