Fees
The resources of law enforcement should not be burdened to take the time and make the efforts to satisfy a civil issue between two parties. This is why the state allows for fees to be collected for civil process service.
Utah State Statute allows for the Summit County Sheriff’s Office to receive fees for process services. The amounts are governed by code. 17-22-2.5, UCA. The amount charged is determined by the type of process plus mileage. There are deposits required for certain types of services. Refunds are issued if service is not completed or the deposit is more than required once service is rendered.
