Carlisle is a village of 5,500 that lies mainly in Warren County and also reaches into Montgomery County, and it has a police department of its own, so a process server delivering a summons and complaint, a subpoena, an eviction notice or another court paper here should first confirm which county the case is in. The order form handles requests. Pick Standard Service ($185, first attempt within 5 business days), Rush Service ($225, first attempt within 48 hours) or 24-Hour Service ($265, aiming at a first attempt within 24 hours). Once papers are delivered, a signed affidavit of service is emailed.

Warren County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
Certified mail from the clerk is how a summons usually goes out. Written requests for personal or residence service send it to the sheriff, a bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who May Serve Papers in Warren County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Because Carlisle crosses a county line, which sheriff matters. Civ.R. 4.1 has the clerk deliver process to the sheriff of the county where the party resides or may be found, so a defendant living on the Montgomery County side may call for that county's sheriff. Municipal court bailiffs serve defendants in their court's territory and the sheriff of any other county. A person designated by court order is the alternative. See the unclaimed mail guide.
