The Civil Division is assigned to serve Civil Court documents issued from the various courts of Johnson County. These Courts would include District Court, Magistrate Court, Probate Court, and Juvenile Court. Civil process is also received from other counties within the State of Kansas as well as Out-of-State district courts.

Generally, both local and out-of-state courts require an Officer of the Court to deliver court documents. The Johnson County Sheriff's Office will prepare a return of service to the court that prepared the document(s). The person receiving the document(s) will then be able to take some type of action or answer to the courts regarding a specific matter within a given timeframe.
