North Dakota Code 11-15-13 – Fees to be endorsed on process
When a sheriff or other officer serves a summons, subpoena, bench warrant, venire, or other process in any action to which the state or any county is a party, the officer shall endorse upon the writ or process, or upon a paper attached thereto, at the time the officer makes the return of service thereon, a statement of the officer’s fees for the service, the number of miles traveled, and the amount of the officer’s mileage. If the officer fails to make the return with the statement and does not file the return with the clerk of the court from which the process issued before judgment is rendered in the action to which the process relates, the officer shall receive no fees for such service, and the board of county commissioners of the county shall not allow the same.
