(2) On and after July 1, 2013, the sheriff of each Kansas county shall charge a fee of $15 for serving, executing and returning any process. (b) Subject to subsection (e), the fee described in subsection (a) shall be charged for serving, executing and returning process, as well as for any unsuccessful attempts to serve, execute or return process. (c) If more than one process for the same person in the same case is issued and is in the hands of a sheriff at one time, the sheriff shall charge a single fee for serving, executing and returning the processes. (d) If more than one process for different persons at the same address in the same case is issued and is in the hands of a sheriff at one time, the sheriff shall charge a single fee for serving, executing and returning the processes. (e) Where return is not made or timely return is not made pursuant to K.S.A. 60-312 or 61-3005, and amendments thereto, no fee shall be charged for subsequent processes that may be required to effect service and the timely return of the failed service.
