Sheriffs; increase process, bond approval and notice fees.
Mississippi Senate Bill 2403 increases specific fees collected by county sheriffs. It raises the processing fee for serving legal documents from $45 to $55 (Section 25-7-19), the bond approval fee from $25 to $40, and the tax notice services fee from $45 to $55 (Section 27-43-3). These fees directly affect sheriffs and the individuals or entities requiring sheriff services for court processes, bonds, or tax notices. The bill makes no changes to service procedures, only adjusting the fee amounts for existing services.
