How Georgia pricing is set
Every county in Georgia has a published Routine starting rate, from $125 to $260. The rate reflects two things that drive the cost of a serve: how many people live in the county and how far it sits from the nearest major metro area. The faster levels are fixed multiples of Routine: Urgent is 1.5 times, Rush is 2 times and Same Day Rush is 3 times.
Lowest starting rates include Fulton County, Gwinnett County, Cobb County. The highest are in small, remote counties such as Baker County, Quitman County, Clay County.
The figure you see is a starting point. The exact address, urgency and whether the documents are ready to serve can change the final price, which DFS confirms in writing before any attempt.

Georgia pricing questions
Why do Georgia prices differ by county?
Each county has its own published Routine starting rate, set from the county’s population and its distance from the nearest major metro area. Dense metro counties start at $125; small, remote counties cost more to reach and run up to $260.
Is the map price the final price?
It is the published starting rate. The final price depends on the exact address, the urgency and whether the documents are ready to serve, and DFS confirms it in writing before the first attempt.
What happens if I need service within 24 hours?
Same Day Rush availability is assessed case by case. Any request for service within 24 hours is billed as Same Day Rush, which is three times the county’s Routine rate.
Does DFS offer filing, courier or notary work in Georgia?
No. In Georgia, DFS provides process serving only. Filing, courier, mobile notary and investigative services are offered in Tennessee.
Papers to serve in Georgia?
Send the documents and the recipient’s last known address through the request form. DFS confirms the county, service level and price in writing before the first attempt.
