Process Serving Across Martin County, Florida
Martin County sits at the southern end of Florida's Treasure Coast, anchored by the county seat of Stuart and stretching from the Atlantic beaches of Hobe Sound and Jensen Beach west to the agricultural community of Indiantown. Its courts belong to Florida's 19th Judicial Circuit, which also covers St. Lucie, Indian River, and Okeechobee counties, and its civil, family, probate, and eviction cases run through the Martin County Courthouse at 100 SE Ocean Blvd in downtown Stuart.
Service of process here follows the same rules as everywhere in Florida — Chapter 48, Florida Statutes governs who may serve, how personal and substitute service work, and what the return of service must state. What changes county to county is the practical side: gate protocols, courthouse procedures, and drive times. Golden Process Service has worked Martin County since 2018 as part of our coverage of all 67 Florida counties, completing 500+ serves per month statewide, and our servers know the difference between an attempt in downtown Stuart and one behind a guard gate in Sewall's Point.
Same-Day Dispatch to Every Corner of Martin County
From the Roosevelt Bridge in Stuart to the guard gates of Jupiter Island, Golden Process Service dispatches the day your papers arrive — flat-rate, GPS-tracked, affidavit included.
Cities We Serve in Martin County
Golden Process Service covers every municipality and unincorporated community in Martin County. Stuart is the county seat and courthouse city; Palm City, Jensen Beach, and Hobe Sound form the residential core; Indiantown anchors the western half of the county; and the small coastal towns of Sewall's Point, Ocean Breeze, and Jupiter Island are covered through the Stuart courthouse and our nearby hub routes.

Why Attorneys Choose Our Martin County Process Server Team
Attorneys hire us because every Martin County job produces the one document a judge actually reads: a clean, signed affidavit of service that names the date, time, address, method, and person served. Here is how a typical Martin County assignment runs:
- Same-day dispatch. Papers submitted through our Send Work portal during business hours are assigned to a Treasure Coast server the same day.
- Staggered attempt windows. Attempts rotate across morning, afternoon, and evening windows — the pattern courts expect to see when service is later challenged.
- GPS-logged attempts. Every attempt is time-stamped and geo-logged, so the return of service is backed by records, not memory.
- Signed affidavit, filed or returned. You receive a notarized affidavit compliant with Florida process serving requirements, ready to file.
Golden Process Service has operated since 2018, holds memberships in FAPPS, NAPPS, and NALSSP, and publishes flat-rate pricing on our rates page — the price includes multiple attempts, with no mileage surcharges anywhere in Martin County. We also handle subpoena service for witnesses and records custodians and divorce and family-law service countywide.
Court Filing at the Martin County Courthouse
Martin County filings go through the Clerk of the Circuit Court at the Martin County Courthouse, 100 SE Ocean Blvd, Stuart, FL 34994. Golden Process Service's court filing and retrieval team handles filings, case searches, and certified copy pickup at this courthouse, so out-of-county and out-of-state firms never need to send staff to Stuart.
For landlords and property managers, our eviction service covers three-day notices, seven-day notices, and eviction summons throughout Martin County — posted and served in the sequence Florida law requires, each step documented for the court file. Because the 19th Judicial Circuit spans four counties, we also coordinate service and filing in St. Lucie, Indian River, and Okeechobee when a Martin County case reaches parties or witnesses up the coast.
Gated Communities and Hard-to-Find Defendants
Much of Martin County's coastline — Jupiter Island, Sewall's Point, and the waterfront enclaves of Palm City and Hobe Sound — sits behind gates, guard stations, or private roads. Serving process there is a discipline of its own: our servers coordinate with gate staff where the law allows, time attempts around residency patterns, and document every access refusal, because those records matter if the court must later authorize alternative service. Our guide to gated community process service in Florida explains the playbook in detail.
When a defendant is genuinely evading — or has moved without a forwarding address — in-house skip tracing takes over before more of your budget goes into attempts. If the party still cannot be located, we prepare the Affidavit of Diligent Search a Martin County judge needs before permitting service by publication under Chapter 49, Florida Statutes. For the defendant's side of this cat-and-mouse, see what avoiding a process server actually accomplishes in Florida — spoiler: it delays, but rarely defeats, service.
Martin County and the Treasure Coast
Martin County work is dispatched from Golden Process Service's Palm Beach office at 378 Northlake Blvd in North Palm Beach — a short run up I-95 or US-1 to Hobe Sound, Stuart, and Jensen Beach — with our Plantation headquarters backing statewide coverage. Cases that straddle the county line are common: a Martin County lawsuit with a witness in Palm Beach Gardens, or a Palm Beach County case with a defendant in Hobe Sound. One vendor covers both sides of the line, from Stuart down through West Palm Beach.

What to Expect From a Martin County Process Server
Hiring a Martin County process server should feel simple: you send the papers, and a document comes back that survives scrutiny. From the first attempt in Stuart to the final notarized return, here is how a real assignment unfolds and what you can plan around before you commit a filing deadline.
Everything routes through the 19th Judicial Circuit. Civil, family, probate, and eviction matters are filed at the Martin County Courthouse, 100 SE Ocean Blvd in downtown Stuart. Knowing the clerk's counter, the case-search process, and certified-copy pickup saves out-of-county firms a wasted trip up the coast.
Geography shapes the work. Stuart and Jensen Beach move quickly, while Palm City, Hobe Sound, and the barrier-island enclaves of Sewall's Point and Jupiter Island sit behind gates and guard stations. A seasoned Martin County process server plans attempt windows around residency patterns instead of hoping a gate opens on the first try.
Timing is predictable. Papers submitted during business hours are dispatched the same day from our North Palm Beach office on Northlake Boulevard, a short run up I-95 or US-1. Routine first attempts across Martin County usually land within 24 to 48 hours, with rush and same-day options when a hearing is close.
The affidavit is the deliverable that matters. Under Chapter 48, Florida Statutes, the return must state the date, time, address, method, and person served. Each Martin County process server attempt is time-stamped and GPS-logged, so a challenged service is backed by records rather than a server's memory.
When a party is evading or has moved without a forwarding address, in-house skip tracing takes over before more of your budget disappears into dead-end attempts. If the person still cannot be found, we prepare the Affidavit of Diligent Search a judge needs before authorizing service by publication under Chapter 49.
Pricing stays flat countywide, with no per-mile or per-attempt surcharges anywhere in Martin County. Ready to move? Send work and your assignment goes out today, or call (888) 766-7497 to talk through a specific matter on the Treasure Coast.

Golden Process Service uses certified servers appointed in the circuits we work — including the 19th — and we are members of both FAPPS and NAPPS.
Every Martin County job is dispatched the same business day it arrives, tracked attempt by attempt, and covered by flat-rate pricing published on our rates page. If the party cannot be found, in-house skip tracing takes over before more of your budget goes into attempts.
