(3) Summons
Example heading of summons - If serving a subpoena or other process remember you must send a total of three sets for proper service. One will be returned with the servers seal & affidavit. Don’t forget a check for $15.00 to the Chief Financial Officer. The second way to serve the Chief Financial Officer is if they are being served on behalf of another municipal or governmental agency which is being sued. This is pursuant to F.S. 768.28(7).
