Addresses inside the City of Windsor are on the $140 Windsor rate. Windsor is separate from Essex County for local government, though everyone here thinks of it as one region.
Two court locations in the region
- Windsor courthouse, 245 Windsor Ave., Windsor N9A 1J2. Ontario's court listing shows civil, criminal, enforcement, family and small claims offices here, phone 519-973-6620, counter service Monday to Friday 9 to 11 a.m. and 2 to 4 p.m.
- Ontario Court of Justice, 200 Chatham St. E., Windsor N9A 2W3, listed for criminal, youth and family matters (family line 519-973-6670).
- Leamington courthouse, 7 Clark St. W., Leamington N8H 1E5. Ontario's court listing shows criminal, youth, family and small claims services here (small claims 519-973-6620, family 519-973-6670); call ahead for hours.
Why a flat rate matters out here
Rural and small-town serves often mean a long drive and more than one trip. With a flat rate, you know the cost before the first attempt, and the drive is not billed as an extra. Call, text or order online any time: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Serve attempts themselves are made at sensible hours for the person being served, not in the middle of the night.
Essex County questions
Does the price change across the county?
Yes, by area. For standard service Windsor city limits are $140, most of Essex County is $160, the Kingsville area is $180 and the Leamington area is $210, as shown in the price table above (or find your town). Mileage is always included, so nothing is added for the drive, and the order form shows the exact price as soon as you enter the address.
Is Windsor part of Essex County?
Not for local government. Windsor is a separate city, and Essex County is made up of seven municipalities: Amherstburg, Essex, Kingsville, Lakeshore, LaSalle, Leamington and Tecumseh. We cover all of them, plus Windsor.
Do you serve Pelee Island or Chatham-Kent?
Yes, by quote. Pelee Island needs the ferry, and Chatham-Kent towns such as Tilbury, Wheatley, Merlin and Chatham are past the county line, so they are not in the flat-price table. Call, text or email the address and we will confirm we can take it and give you the price first.
Can I order at night?
Yes. Calls, texts and online orders are taken 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Attempts are made at sensible hours for the person being served.
How to send a file
Email the documents and the recipient's address to info@rosecityprocessservers.ca or order online. We confirm the price and timeline, and the first attempt is usually made within 48 hours (sooner on rush or same-day). Up to three attempts are made at different times of day, with an email after each one showing the time, GPS location and a photo. When the serve is done, the sworn Affidavit of Service is emailed to you, ready to file. We serve at a known address and do not trace people.
Drive estimates are from downtown Windsor to the town centre using OpenStreetMap routing; real times vary. Community lists follow each municipality's published make-up. Court details are from the Government of Ontario court locations listing (October 2026); always follow the instructions for your own court and case.
