The clerk mails certified summonses first. Written plaintiff requests send the papers to the sheriff, a municipal bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who May Serve Papers in Warren County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Designated Server
Civ.R. 4.1 takes about a minute to read and is worth it. Mail first. Then, with a written request, personal service on the defendant or residence service at the usual home with a suitable resident. The sheriff handles those for common pleas and county courts, the bailiff for municipal courts inside territory, and a person designated under 4.1(E) for up to a year is the alternative, sworn to the 4.1(D) list. If delivery has not been made in 28 days, the server returns the papers to the clerk with the reasons, and a late return does not by itself void service.
