Civil Fees
- If documents are issued or returnable to a Colorado court, use the service fee plus the appropriate mileage. If a sworn law enforcement officer serves the papers, it will not require notarization.
- If the documents are issued or returnable to a court in another state, that state will likely require notarization of the return of service. Please include an additional $5.00 for the notary fee.
Please call (303) 660-7527 for questions, if your documents are not listed, if levy and seizure of property are required, or if you need information about requirements for a sheriff’s judicial foreclosure sale.
Fees shown generally include the service of attached exhibits, complaints, motions, and answer forms.
A subpoena would be considered a separate service and charged accordingly.
Pursuant to C.R.S. 30-1-105.5, as amended, in situations when two or more papers are served on the same person or different persons at the same time and place and in the same action, the sheriff shall charge the highest individual fee allowable pursuant to C.R.S. 30-1-104, as amended, for the first process and an additional ten dollars ($10.00) for each subsequent process served. The sheriff shall charge the single zone or zip code based mileage based fee for the first process.
