Who Serves Papers in Warren County: Clerk, Sheriff or Designee

A written request permits personal service or residence service, the latter left with a suitable person at the home. Common pleas papers go to the Warren County Sheriff's Office, municipal papers to the bailiff, and a court may designate a person under 4.1(E) for up to a year after an oath to the 4.1(D) list, including professional conduct. Twenty-eight days is the limit; after that the server writes down why service failed and returns the papers to Lebanon.
