Knox County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
A summons usually begins as certified mail from the clerk. Writing to the clerk for personal or residence service brings the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server into the picture.
Who May Serve Papers in Knox County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Civ.R. 4.1 requires the clerk to give hand-delivery papers to the sheriff of the county where the party lives or may be found, and to a municipal court's bailiff for defendants within its territory.
