Brown County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
Absent a written request, a summons from the clerk travels by certified mail. If personal or residence service is requested, the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server carries the paper instead.
Who May Serve Papers in Brown County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
The clerk's role in Ohio is bigger than in many states. Under Civ.R. 4.1 the clerk mails the process, records the receipt, and tells the plaintiff when delivery fails. Hand delivery is a separate step that starts with a written request. A court-designated server must meet the rule's list, which covers age, independence from the case, legal status, identification and a recent record. The sheriff versus private server comparison helps weigh them.
