A process server in Paint Township, Wayne County, is dealing with a township that spans five ZIP codes, so the first job is confirming the mailing address on the papers. Summonses, subpoenas, eviction notices and other court documents can be ordered through the order page in Standard, Rush or 24-Hour turnaround, and the signed proof of service is emailed after a successful delivery.
Paint Township Process Server Costs
Five ZIP codes and 13.1 miles to the courthouse make a slower tier the natural pick unless the deadline is tight. Standard Service, $185, schedules the first attempt within 5 business days. Rush Service, $225, schedules the first attempt within 48 hours. The $265 tier, 24-Hour Service, shoots for a first attempt within 24 hours, but according to the rates page that is not promised and rides on early submission and server availability. When the papers are not served on the first visit, additional attempts are $25 per attempt.
Wayne County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
Unless the plaintiff asks otherwise, the clerk's default is a summons sent by certified mail. Where the plaintiff files a written request for personal or residence service, the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server performs the delivery. The Wayne County page has more.
