Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Georgia
Ways to serve an Eviciton Notice
The county magistrate court in which I own rental property has a ridiculously large fee for serving an eviction notice byway of the local sheriff. If I have a proper and professional letter for a notice to pay rent/quit or an eviction notice, is there another way to have the notice officially served without going through the local authorities?

Probably not. Unless your county has a rare exception, you must have the sheriff attempt to serve the defendant-tenant initially.
If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
