OAG 75-576 is cited to support the assertion that the sheriff cannot charge additional fees for serving a complaint or other initiating document along with the summons, as they must be served together according to Civil Rule 4.04. It emphasizes that no officer can demand or receive any fee greater than what is allowed by law unless specifically authorized by statute.
