Williamsburg Township Process Server Costs
Costs are laid out on the rates page by speed: $185 for Standard Service and its first attempt within 5 business days, $225 for Rush Service and its first attempt within 48 hours, and $265 for 24-Hour Service and its aim of within 24 hours. That last speed is not promised, and the page names Cincinnati rather than Clermont County as the practical area for it, so submission time and server availability decide. When a delivery fails, a further attempt costs $25 per attempt.
