The courthouse in Bellefontaine is only 3.3 miles from Harrison Township, Logan County, which keeps a process server's route short for summonses, subpoenas, eviction notices and other court papers. The online order page is where jobs begin; the tier determines the turnaround, and each successful delivery yields an emailed, signed proof of service.
What a Process Server Costs in Harrison Township
Starting at the low end, the $185 Standard Service tier lets a first attempt wait as long as 5 business days. The $225 Rush Service tier cuts the wait to 48 hours. The $265 24-Hour Service tier reaches for a first attempt inside a day, but the rates page makes no promise because the hour of the order and the servers on duty both count. Should delivery fail, you may purchase another attempt for $25. The rates page shows the same figures.
Logan County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
The clerk's certified mailing starts the case. A plaintiff who files a written request for personal or residence service puts the papers with the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who May Serve Papers in Logan County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Next door to the county seat, plaintiffs sometimes assume they can walk papers over themselves. Ohio does not allow that for original process: Civ.R. 4.1 limits personal and residence delivery to the sheriff, a bailiff of a municipal court or a person the court has designated, and the clerk makes the handoff. For details, read the Ohio sheriff comparison.
