Mileage fee for each mile actually and necessarily traveled in serving a Criminal Action is $0.45 per mile.

The Fremont County Sheriff's Office Civil Unit has established a zip code based zone mileage fee structure. Mileage fees for the service of civil process by Sheriff's deputies are based on roundtrip mileage from the Fremont County Sheriff's Office to the center point in each zone; it is then rounded to the nearest mile.

The fee assessed will be calculated based upon the round trip established for the address where the paper is served in the applicable zip code zone, multiplied by the current mileage rate set pursuant to C.R.S. 30-11-107(1)(t). This is regardless of the number of attempts made, or the actual miles traveled by the deputy during an operational period.

It is the customer's responsibility to inform the Sheriff's Office Civil Section of the number of days to be attempted for each paper served.

If Serving TWO OR MORE PAPERS on the same person or on a different person AT THE SAME TIME AND PLACE AND IN THE SAME ACTION (SAME COURT CASE NO.) the fee will be:

  1. The highest allowable fee for the first process.
  2. An additional $10.00 for each additional process.
  3. One mileage fee for each attempt made in an operational period.

* The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office is in the process of restructuring the zip code/zone base for the mileage fees.  Once this has been completed the website will be updated.

Civil Process Fees:

Non-service returns $16.00 plus mileage.

Criminal Process Fees:

Non-service returns $5.00 plus mileage.
