Section 13.67.220. Fees; fee agreements.

	(a)  A fee charged by a process server must be reasonable. The department will, in its discretion, review the fees charged by a process server and will determine if those fees are reasonable by considering  
		(1) the maximum amount that can be recovered by a party as costs under Supreme Court Rule of Administration (11)(a) for the designated service;  
		(2) the time and labor required;  
		(3) the time limitations imposed by the person requesting service; and  
		(4) any special circumstances presented by the person who requested service.  
	(b)  A process server shall establish a fee schedule for the information of the general public. The fee schedule must clearly state if the fee to be charged will exceed the maximum amount recoverable by a party as costs under Supreme Court Rule of Administration (11)(a) for the designated service.  
	(c)  A process server who has not previously served process for the person requesting service shall communicate the fees to be charged in writing to the person requesting service before service is attempted or within a reasonable time thereafter.
