# O.C.G.A. § 15-16-22. Mileage fees for service outside county.

The fees shall be taxed as a part of the costs in the case to which the process, summons, or notice pertains. The sheriff, before serving or having served the process, summons, or notice outside the county of his residence, shall have a right to require the party or his attorney requesting the service to deposit with him a sufficient amount to cover the mileage fees provided for in this Code section.
