Delaware County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
Most summonses are mailed certified by the clerk. If the plaintiff requests personal or residence service in writing, the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server takes over.
Who May Serve Papers in Delaware County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
What does Ohio's Civil Rule 4.1 say about who delivers? Start with the clerk's mail, certified or express, return receipt signed. Add the sheriff, a municipal bailiff or a court-designated person for service in person, but only after a written request. A designated person must be 18 or older, uninvolved in the case, a citizen or legal resident with photo ID, free of recent serious convictions, and familiar with service; the designation lasts as long as a year. After 28 days without service, papers go back to the clerk with the reasons. The Civ.R. 4.1 guide tells what to do when mail fails.
Concord Township Courts and the Delaware County Courthouse
Concord Township has trustees and no municipal court of its own. The Delaware County Courthouse, 91 North Sandusky Street, Delaware, OH 43015, home of the Court of Common Pleas, is about 7.0 miles from the township. Lower-level civil, small claims and eviction filings go to a municipal or county court, and the clerk where a case is filed can confirm which. Municipal courts generally hear claims up to $15,000 and small claims go up to $6,000.
