Shiawassee County, MI
Shiawassee County lies between Lansing and Flint. Owosso is its largest city and Corunna is the county seat, while much of the rest is small towns and farmland around Durand, Perry, Laingsburg, and Byron.
The county’s courts are in Corunna: the 35th Circuit Court in the historic courthouse, and the 66th District Court and Probate Court in the Courts & Health Building. We serve the people in those cases, and in cases from any other Michigan court, throughout the county.

FAQ
Serving papers in Shiawassee 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 can serve papers in Shiawassee County?
Under MCR 2.103(A), any legally competent adult who isn’t a party to the case, or an officer of a corporate party. That rule is the same in every Michigan county.
Can you serve papers for a case filed outside Shiawassee County?
Yes. A summons or subpoena from any Michigan court can be served on someone who lives or works in Shiawassee County.
Is service by mail allowed?
Yes, by registered or certified mail with return receipt and delivery restricted to the addressee, under MCR 2.105(A)(2). It only counts once the defendant signs for it, which is why many people choose personal service.
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.
