Higher sheriff fees for convicted defendants

Beginning November 1, 2026, the sheriff’s service fee in covered criminal cases rises from $50 to up to $100. It applies when sheriffs serve or try to serve legal papers, or pursue a fugitive. Within the county, statutory mileage applies if greater; outside the county, actual necessary expenses apply if greater. The fee is charged for each offense of conviction. Convictions include guilty pleas, no-contest pleas, deferred judgments, and suspended sentences.

Higher sheriff fees for juvenile households

Beginning November 1, 2026, the sheriff’s fee in covered juvenile cases rises from $20 to $100, or statutory mileage if greater. It applies when sheriffs serve or try to serve legal papers, or pursue a fugitive. Courts may charge the juvenile, the parent, or both after the court decides the case. Costs can also apply when a parent requests a petition and later asks to dismiss it. Legal guardians and state or private agencies with custody cannot be charged these costs.
