After service, we will invoice the originating office for the mileage fee, preferably by email.
If a payment that accompanies a service paper is an amount greater than the above listed service fees, the payment will be immediately returned to the requester.
The Sheriff's Office charges mileage fees in accordance with the current year IRS Standard Mileage Rates and are in accordance with House Bill No. 2224. Mileage will be charged per attempt, not per paper.
The Sheriff's Office will only accept cashiers' checks, money orders or business/personal checks as payment. Cash will not be accepted.
