Prepare the property and recipient before dispatch.
Broward eviction service can involve apartment communities, condominium buildings, gated developments and single-family rentals across a dense urban county. Submit the tenant or occupant name exactly as shown in the issued papers, the full property address, and the unit or building number. Add known gate, front-desk, property-management or access information that could affect an accepted attempt.
Separate Broward filing procedure from the field-service request.
The Broward Clerk’s County Civil guidance identifies service on the tenant as a required step after the eviction action is filed and the required forms are completed. The Clerk also directs filers to the current county-civil filing-location administrative order. DocketServe’s role is the operational field-service workflow for the issued papers; filing notices, legal sufficiency, deadlines and the later writ-of-possession process are separate court or legal matters.
Broward County is served by Florida’s Seventeenth Judicial Circuit. The address where papers will be served helps plan the field attempt, but it does not by itself determine the proper filing location or legal method for the case.
Keep the Broward job connected from intake through the return.
- Submit the issued papers and exact address. Include the named tenant or recipient, unit or building information and requested timing.
- Review coverage and scope. The actual papers, address, timing, access conditions and available qualified capacity are reviewed before work is accepted.
- Follow accepted activity. Attempt and outcome information stays associated with the service record rather than being split across unrelated messages.
- Receive the released return. Completed or nonservice return information and invoice status remain connected to the job record at closeout.
DocketServe currently publishes standard service at $75 for up to three attempts within seven days from the first attempt under the published scope, $150 for accepted rush work, and $25 for an approved additional attempt.

Questions before submitting a Broward eviction service request.
What information should I include?
Provide the complete issued service packet, the named tenant or defendant, full street address, apartment or unit number and requested timing. Add any known gate, leasing-office, security or property-management information that applies to the location.
Does the service address determine where the case should be filed?
No. The field address is used for service planning. Confirm filing location, venue, deadlines and case requirements with the Broward Clerk, the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit or qualified legal counsel.
Does requesting service guarantee a successful result?
No. Acceptance, attempts and outcomes depend on the actual papers, recipient, location, timing, access and available qualified capacity.
