Clerk mail is the default, and a plaintiff's written request for personal or residence service brings in the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who May Serve Papers in Ashtabula County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
With neighbors in Geauga County, a defendant may live across a county line, which matters because Civ.R. 4.1 sends the clerk to the sheriff of the county where the party resides or may be found. Civ.R. 4.6(A) allows service anywhere in Ohio. A court-designated person is the alternative to the sheriff. See the special process server article.
