Coshocton County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
Mailing comes first, from the clerk, with certified delivery. A written request for personal or residence service sends the summons to the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who May Serve Papers in Coshocton County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
County lines don't change who may serve. Under Civ.R. 4.1, a written request leads the clerk to hand the process to the sheriff of the county where the defendant lives or can be found, a municipal court bailiff, or a person designated by court order. Since this township's neighbors include parts of Tuscarawas and Holmes counties, a defendant may live across a county line. Ask the clerk what your court requires.
