Hamilton County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
By default, the clerk mails the summons by certified mail. A plaintiff who requests personal or residence service in writing brings in the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who May Serve Papers in Hamilton County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Civ.R. 4.1 lays out three options for original process: mail by the clerk, personal service, and residence service, with the latter two on written request. After the request, the clerk gives the papers to the sheriff, to a municipal court's bailiff, or to a person designated by the court. A designated person's authority runs up to a year.
