Who May Serve Papers in Holmes County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
A plaintiff in Ohio hands the work to the system, not to a friend. Civ.R. 4.1 routes it: clerk mail by default, then, once a written request is filed, the sheriff where the party lives or may be found, a municipal court's bailiff, or a person the court designated by order. The order lasts up to a year and is renewed only by new designation. See the unclaimed mail guide.
