Serving papers in Wauchula
The small downtown, the neighborhoods off US 17, and the farms, ranches and groves across Hardee County, including Bowling Green and Zolfo Springs.
Wauchula is in the center of Hardee County, in Hardee County and the 10th Judicial Circuit, so every job here goes to one of our process servers certified in the 10th Judicial Circuit. You order online or by phone at one flat price per level.
A rural county
Hardee County is small in population and large in land. Many addresses are ranches or farm properties on long roads, sometimes with only a gate and a mailbox at the road. We confirm the property before approaching, never force or climb a gate, and log every attempt. Under Florida Statutes 48.031(1)(a), papers can be left at the person's usual place of abode with someone 15 or older who lives there, after telling them what the papers are.
Spanish-speaking households
Many households here speak Spanish. We can explain in Spanish that we are delivering court papers, which matters when papers are left with another resident under the substitute-service rule; we do not explain the case or give legal advice.
Hardee County cases are heard at the Hardee County Courthouse in Wauchula. Tell us the court and case number with the papers and we write the affidavit for that court.
