Service of a summons and complaint in a civil action in the Superior Court of DeKalb County is governed by O.C.G.A. § 9-11-4, the process section of the Georgia Civil Practice Act, quoted here from Justia’s republication of the 2025 Official Code of Georgia Annotated, the Code published for the State by LexisNexis. Under subsection (a), “Upon the filing of the complaint, the clerk shall forthwith issue a summons and deliver it for service.” Under subsection (b), “The summons shall be signed by the clerk; contain the name of the court and county and the names of the parties; be directed to the defendant.” Subsection (c) names who may serve: “Process shall be served by:” (1) “The sheriff of the county where the action is brought or where the defendant is found or by such sheriff’s deputy;” (2) “The marshal or sheriff of the court or by such official’s deputy;” (3) “Any citizen of the United States specially appointed by the court for that purpose;” (4) “A person who is not a party, not younger than 18 years of age, and has been appointed by the court to serve process or as a permanent process server;” or (5) “A certified process server as provided in Code Section 9-11-4.1.” In DeKalb County the summons issues from the Clerk of Superior Court, whose office states in its own words “Clerk of Superior Court DeKalb County Courthouse 556 North McDonough Street Ground Floor Decatur, GA 30030 Phone 404-371-2836” with hours “Judicial/Real Estate Division Monday – Friday 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m..” Under O.C.G.A. § 9-11-4(c) Superior Court process is served by the DeKalb County Sheriff, whose Civil Process Unit states “DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office Civil Process Unit DeKalb County Courthouse 556 North McDonough Street Suite B110 (Basement Level) Decatur, GA 30030” (“PHONE: (404) 371-2570”), whose fee sheet states “• Service Fee-$50.00 • Levy Fee-$50.00” and whose rule for papers is “Service of Civil Papers (Superior Court, Probate and Juvenile) All Civil Papers must be presented in person or received via U.S. Mail at the courthouse address above. Faxed Civil Papers are not accepted.” Process of the State and Magistrate Courts of DeKalb County is served by the DeKalb County Marshal’s Office at “DeKalb County Courthouse 556 N. McDonough Street, Ste G10 Ground Floor Decatur, GA 30030 Phone: Office: 404-371-2930,” whose filing rule is “All documents to be served MUST be filed in the State/Magistrate Court Clerk’s Office. This also includes Second Originals. All fees are paid directly to the State/Magistrate Court Clerk’s Office.” whose schedule states “For Serving Copy Of Process Or Other Pleading, Including A Dispossessory Warrant : 35.00” and whose return is described thus: “Once your filing has been served you will receive a copy of the Marshal’s Entry of Service by mail to notify you of service.” The Superior Court appoints permanent process servers by annual order — in the Clerk’s words “eFiling into the DeKalb County Clerk of Superior Court occurs once the Order Appointing Permanent Process Server for Calendar Year has been signed by the Judge.” at a “$213.00 filing fee (covers one (1) Process Server) and $8.00 per each additional Process Server listed on the Order” — and the State Court states that “The defendant, the party being sued, must be served. Service maybe completed by the Marshal’s office or by process server.” Our work in Scottdale is the service subsection (c) opens to a private server: personal service, the skip trace that locates the defendant, and the documented record of every attempt. The methods are these:

Personal Service — Subsection (e) provides that “Except for cases in which the defendant has waived service, the summons and complaint shall be served together.” “The plaintiff shall furnish the clerk of the court with such copies as are necessary.” “Service shall be made by delivering a copy of the summons attached to a copy of the complaint as follows:” and the subsection then sets out, party by party, the person to whom the copy is delivered.
Service on a Corporation — Under subsection (e)(1)(A), service on a corporation incorporated or domesticated in Georgia, or a foreign corporation authorized to transact business here, is made “to the president or other officer of such corporation or foreign corporation, a managing agent thereof, or a registered agent thereof,” with the Secretary of State an agent for service when service cannot be had in that manner.
Service by Publication — Subsection (f)(1) provides for publication “When the person on whom service is to be made resides outside the state, or has departed from the state, or cannot, after due diligence, be found within the state, or conceals himself or herself to avoid the service of the summons,” on affidavit to the satisfaction of the judge or clerk; then “the judge or clerk may grant an order that the service be made by the publication of summons.”
Gated and Secured Communities — Subsection (f)(4) opens gated and secured communities to a person authorized to serve process who identifies the party to be served and displays identification and evidence of appointment; “Any person authorized to serve process shall promptly leave gated and secured communities upon perfecting service of process or upon a determination that process cannot be effected at that time.”
Waiver of Service — Subsection (d) provides that “A defendant who waives service of a summons does not thereby waive any objection to the venue or to the jurisdiction of the court over the person of the defendant.” Defendants of the classes it names “have a duty to avoid unnecessary costs of serving the summons,” and a request for waiver allows “at least 30 days from the date on which the request is sent, or 60 days from that date if the defendant is addressed outside any judicial district of the United States”; where a defendant within the United States fails to comply without good cause, “the court shall impose the costs subsequently incurred in effecting service on the defendant unless good cause for the failure is shown.”
Territorial Limits and Cumulative Methods — Subsection (g) provides that “All process may be served anywhere within the territorial limits of the state and, when a statute so provides, beyond the territorial limits of the state.” and subsection (j) that “The methods of service provided in this Code section are cumulative and may be utilized with, after, or independently of other methods of service.”

After Service in Scottdale: The Return of Service and Its Filing

O.C.G.A. § 9-11-4 sets out what is recorded and filed after process is served. The statute speaks of the server’s proof of service; in common commercial practice the same record is called an affidavit of service.

The return and its time limit. Subsection (h) provides that “The person serving the process shall make proof of such service with the court in the county in which the action is pending within five business days of the service date.” “If the proof of service is not filed within five business days, the time for the party served to answer the process shall not begin to run until such proof of service is filed.”

The form of the proof. “Proof of service shall be as follows:” (1) “If served by a sheriff or marshal, or such official’s deputy, the affidavit or certificate of the sheriff, marshal, or deputy;” (2) “If by any other proper person, such person’s affidavit;” (3) “In case of publication, the certificate of the clerk of court certifying to the publication and mailing;” or (4) “The written admission or acknowledgment of service by the defendant.” In the case of service otherwise than by publication, “the certificate or affidavit shall state the date, place, and manner of service.”

Amendment. Subsection (i) provides that “At any time in its discretion and upon such terms as it deems just, the court may allow any process or proof of service thereof to be amended, unless it clearly appears that material prejudice would result to the substantial rights of the party against whom the process issued.”

Filing. The proof of service is filed with the court in the county in which the action is pending. For the Superior Court of DeKalb County that office is the Clerk of Superior Court at 556 North McDonough Street, Ground Floor, Decatur, GA 30030 (“Clerk of Superior Court DeKalb County Courthouse 556 North McDonough Street Ground Floor Decatur, GA 30030 Phone 404-371-2836”); the Clerk lists among the papers filed after service “For service (for new cases): Acknowledgment of Service OR Sheriff’s Entry of Service OR Affidavit of Service (from Process Server…filed as subsequent).” The Clerk states that “The DeKalb County Superior Court began mandatory e-filing January 1st, 2017 and went paperless January 1st, 2018.” and “Documents can be filed from home/office (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) or through Public Access Terminals in the DeKalb County Courthouse (8:30AM – 5:00PM, Monday thru Friday).” The State Court states that “State Court of DeKalb County is mandatory e-file.”

Area Courts for Scottdale

Scottdale lies in DeKalb County, Georgia, by the Bureau’s own geometry, and its courts sit in three tiers: the county courts of DeKalb County, the statewide appellate courts under the Supreme Court of Georgia, and the federal courts for the Northern District of Georgia, whose Atlanta Division 28 U.S.C. § 90(a)(2) holds at Atlanta. Which court a matter belongs to determines where papers are filed and served; the courts below publish their own sites for filing procedures, locations and rules, and the Local Court Information below carries the detail for the Scottdale area.

The DeKalb County courts — The Superior Court of DeKalb County is the county’s trial court of general jurisdiction, which the county lists for “Superior Court Felony criminal cases with jury trials Civil lawsuits Divorce and family law matters Property disputes and real estate cases” (the link is the county’s own anchor, and its own site was not reachable when this page was composed); its Clerk of Superior Court states that “The DeKalb County Superior Court began mandatory e-filing January 1st, 2017 and went paperless January 1st, 2018.” and that “Documents can be filed from home/office (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) or through Public Access Terminals in the DeKalb County Courthouse (8:30AM – 5:00PM, Monday thru Friday).” The State Court of DeKalb County states that “The courthouse is at 556 North McDonough Street, Decatur, Georgia 30030.” “Normal operating hours are Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., excluding county holidays.” and that “State Court of DeKalb County is mandatory e-file.” The Magistrate Court of DeKalb County, in its own words, “The DeKalb Magistrate Court was created in 1983 and handles civil, criminal, and ordinance issues in DeKalb County, Georgia.

Above it sits the Supreme Court of Georgia, whose Clerk’s office the Court describes as “The Clerk’s office of the Supreme Court of Georgia is the public office of the Court.”
The federal courts — DeKalb County lies in the Atlanta Division of the Northern District of Georgia, for which 28 U.S.C. § 90(a)(2) provides that “(2) The Atlanta Division comprises the counties of Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, De Kalb, Douglas, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Newton, and Rockdale.” “Court for the Atlanta Division shall be held at Atlanta.”: the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia keeps its Clerk’s Office at the Richard B. Russell Federal Building & United States Courthouse 2211 United States Courthouse 75 Ted Turner Drive, SW Atlanta, GA 30303-3309, with office hours the court states as “Clerk’s Office: 8:00 a.m. – 4:45 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays” and telephone 404-215-1600.

Local Court Information for Scottdale

Scottdale lies in DeKalb County, Georgia, one of the state’s 159 counties, by the Bureau’s own geometry; the county states that “In DeKalb County, justice is administered through a comprehensive judicial system dedicated to fairness, accountability, and service to the public.” Civil actions of general jurisdiction are heard by the Superior Court of DeKalb County, which the county lists for “Superior Court Felony criminal cases with jury trials Civil lawsuits Divorce and family law matters Property disputes and real estate cases” (“Superior Court: 404-371-4901”).

Process service in Scottdale presents unique considerations due to its blend of residential neighborhoods, apartment complexes, and proximity to commercial corridors along Memorial Drive and East Ponce de Leon Avenue. The area’s urban density and diversity of housing types can present challenges in accessing gated communities or multi-unit dwellings. Additionally, its location within greater Atlanta means frequent traffic congestion and varied neighborhood layouts, which can complicate timely service. Engaging a professional process server with experience in Atlanta and familiarity with DeKalb County’s local characteristics gets legal documents delivered efficiently and in accordance with Georgia’s service requirements.
