Rates & Fees

Rates & Fees
The way we figure how much to charge is by:
  1. How many miles from the court of issuance to the address where the papers need to be delivered
  2. By charging a service fee
  3. Miscellaneous
Mileage
As set by Utah legislation, we charge $2.50 per mile from the court of issuance to the address where the paper work is being delivered. If the court is outside of Salt Lake County, we start the mileage from the Salt Lake Court house (450 South State St.). There is a minimum mileage fee of $10.00. If we have to go to multiple addresses, we will charge for the additional mileage to the other addresses we attempt. Unlike some process serving entities, we will only charge for 1 mileage fee (per address), for a reasonable number of attempts.

Miscellaneous
Research
We provide extended research for clients for a small fee. We use some of our resources as law enforcement officers, to track down individuals that need to be served. We use some pay per search websites that have current and past information; such as: addresses, phone numbers, aliases, and places of employment.
We do a limited amount of research for free on individuals who have moved.
Call Bob for more information regarding prices.
Special / Rush Service
We charge an additional $30 for rush service. With rush service we attempt service more intensely. This could be numerous attempts per day, service at a particular place, time of day, or day of the week, drop what we are doing, pick up the paper work and serve it. However, with special service we always attempt service at least once a day.
With some specials there is additional cost involved with time. If we have to spend time in court, do a stake out, remove property, etc.
Number of entities being served
We charge a service fee for each entity being served, but usually only one mileage. Times where we charge multiple mileages would be cases where the entities have different addresses, the entities need to be served personally and we catch them on separate attempts, and if there are multiple case numbers.
Additional copies
In order to cover our costs we charge $0.50 per page copied, so make sure you have a copy of your paper work for each entity being served.
Certified mailing
We do serve by certified mailing. If you have paper work that needs to be delivered out of state we can provide this service for you.
Time
We currently charge $50.00 per hour for an officers time (per officer).
Out of State
Due to the extra work involved with out of state papers we charge a minimum of $75.00.
Returned check fee
We charge $25.00 for checks that are returned for non sufficient funds.
Credit card handling fee
To cover fees charged by the bank for using credit cards, we charge $2.00 for the first $25.00, and an additional $1.00 for each $25.00 increment.
