Jackson Township in Montgomery County runs its own police department from Farmersville and has two ZIP codes, and a process server there can deliver summonses, subpoenas, eviction notices and other court papers ordered at the order form. Standard Service costs $185 and means a first attempt within 5 business days, Rush Service costs $225 and means one within 48 hours, and 24-Hour Service costs $265 and aims for one within 24 hours. A signed proof of service is sent by email after delivery succeeds.
What a Process Server Costs in Jackson Township
Dayton, the county seat, is among the six areas the rates page names for 24-hour work, which makes the top tier a reasonable question here. The page still says a first attempt within 24 hours at $265 is not promised and suits early orders, and for a township 12.2 miles from the courthouse it comes down to submission time and server availability. The $225 Rush Service and $185 Standard Service tiers are steadier. Additional attempts cost $25. See rates.
Montgomery County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
Summonses commonly go out as certified mail from the clerk. A plaintiff who wants a person to deliver files a written request, and the sheriff, a municipal bailiff or a court-designated server takes it.
Who May Serve Papers in Montgomery County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Under Civ.R. 4.1, a Montgomery County plaintiff does not choose the server. The clerk mails unless a written request is filed, and after a request the clerk gives the process to the sheriff, a municipal bailiff or a court-designated person. Such a person must be at least 18 and unrelated to a party. See sheriff versus private server.
