Service of Process
We serve process in Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco County, Florida Our rates are based upon the amount of time we have to serve the process. We do not charge mileage and there are no extra fees.
It is worthy to note that several years ago, some Sheriff Agencies, elected to no longer serve Non-Enforceable Process.
Florida Statute 48.021 (2)(a) The sheriff of each county may, in his or her discretion, establish an approved list of natural persons designated as special process servers. The sheriff shall add to such list the names of those natural persons who have met the requirements provided for in this section. Each natural person whose name has been added to the approved list is subject to annual recertification and reappointment by the sheriff. The sheriff shall prescribe an appropriate form for application for appointment. A reasonable fee for the processing of the application shall be charged. Pinellas and Pasco County are two of those counties.
