Hamilton County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
A summons usually goes out first by clerk certified mail. Personal or residence service by a sheriff, a bailiff or a court-designated server follows only the plaintiff's written request.
Who May Serve Papers in Hamilton County: Sheriff, Bailiff or Designated Server
When a Grandview defendant must be served in a common pleas case, Civ.R. 4.1 has the clerk deliver the papers to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office; a municipal court sends them to its bailiff. Courts may also designate a person by order for up to a year once that person swears to the 4.1(D) requirements. A server unable to serve in 28 days returns the papers with reasons noted.
Grandview Courts and the Hamilton County Courthouse
