The county sheriff or his salaried deputies are required to serve, execute, and return all process, writs, precepts, and other orders issued that are directed to the county sheriff by lawful authorities in civil and criminal cases and to serve the several courts of record held in the county:

• All work-issued out of district courts.
• Municipal courts as requested

The county sheriff is required to receive and serve writs and processes and arrest warrants as directed by a municipal court to any place in the state. The county sheriff receives compensation allowed for these services, directed by the judge of the court. The municipality must pay the county (for deposit into the Sheriff’s Service Fee Account) a fee for any service by a county sheriff.

All processes directed to the county sheriff from the district court or any other court in the county must be served promptly, returned without delay, and filed in the proper court. The county sheriff must endorse every item the day and hour the item was received.
