One district court, many divisions
The 67th District Court covers the whole county through separate divisions. The division on your paperwork depends on where the case arose, but we serve wherever the person lives or works in the county.

Genesee County, MI
Genesee County is centered on Flint and its suburbs, from Burton and Grand Blanc to Fenton, Flushing, and Davison, with smaller towns and farmland toward the county’s edges.
Circuit and probate cases are heard at the Genesee County Courthouse in downtown Flint, and the 67th District Court handles district cases through divisions around the county. We serve the people in those cases, and in cases from any other Michigan court, throughout the county.

FAQ
Serving papers in Genesee County: common questions.
General information about Michigan court rules, not legal advice. Your attorney or the court clerk can answer questions about your specific case.
Who is allowed to serve papers in Genesee County?
Under MCR 2.103(A), any legally competent adult who is not a party to the case, or an officer of a corporate party, may serve process. Writs of restitution and orders requiring arrest must be served by a sheriff, deputy, or court officer.
How are eviction papers served?
Landlord-tenant summary proceedings follow MCR 4.201(D). The summons and complaint are mailed, and also delivered personally, left with a household member of suitable age, or, after diligent attempts, securely attached to the main entrance of the unit.
What if the person keeps avoiding service?
If personal service can’t reasonably be made, MCR 2.105(J) lets the court order another method on a verified motion. We document each attempt, which helps support that motion.
How long is my summons valid?
Under MCR 2.102(D), a summons expires 91 days after it is issued. If you’re close to that date, tell us so we can plan the attempts around it.
What will I get as proof of service?
A signed proof of service stating how, when, and where the papers were delivered and to whom. MCR 2.104(A) accepts a verified statement from the person who made service.
