Greene County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
Clerk-sent certified mail is the starting point. If the plaintiff writes to the clerk asking for personal or residence service, the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server takes the papers instead.
Who May Serve Papers in Greene County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
An unclaimed certified summons often leads plaintiffs to Civ.R. 4.6 and then to Civ.R. 4.1. The first lets the clerk resend by ordinary mail when asked in writing; the second moves process to the sheriff of the county where the defendant lives or is found, or to a person designated by court order. The Ohio sheriff comparison helps with the choice.
