An Essex process server for Essex Centre, Harrow and Colchester
Today's Town of Essex was formed in 1999 from the towns of Essex and Harrow and the townships of Colchester North and Colchester South. So "Essex" on a file can mean a street in Essex Centre or a Harrow or Colchester address near the lake, and it is easily mixed up with Essex County as a whole. Send whatever the file says and we will pin down where it is and confirm the flat price.
Much of the town is farmland with long concession roads. A lot or concession number, a house description or the usual vehicle helps us find the right door first time. Down at Colchester Harbour, the town's Lake Erie marina, some homes are only used part of the year; if the person may be there only in summer, tell us so the attempts are timed well.
Which court office is closer
Essex sits between the county's two court locations, each about half an hour away. The Superior Court at 245 Windsor Ave. takes civil, Small Claims and family files, including divorce. The Leamington office at 7 Clark St. W. lists criminal, family and Small Claims services but notes limited services and no court fee payments there, so call before going. Both are covered in the Windsor courthouse guide.

Essex questions
Is Essex the same as Essex County?
No. The Town of Essex is one of the seven municipalities that make up the County of Essex. Our prices depend on the address, not the municipality: most of Essex County is $160, and Colchester and Oxley are on the Kingsville area rate.
Do you serve Harrow and McGregor?
Yes. Harrow, McGregor, Colchester and every other community in the Town of Essex are covered, with mileage included. Essex Centre, Harrow and most hamlets are on the Most of Essex County rate, while Colchester and Oxley are on the Kingsville area rate; the order form shows the exact price for the address.
Which court will my Essex file go to?
Your court file shows it; the address does not decide it. Windsor and Leamington are both about half an hour from Essex Centre, and we serve the papers either way.
Can you serve the same day in Essex?
Same-day service is available when you order by 2:00 pm. The price for your address is in the Essex County price table.
