The clerk mails by 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 Coshocton County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Two doors lead to hand delivery in Ohio: the sheriff's office, or a server with a court order behind them. Civ.R. 4.1 builds both. The order needs an application, an oath and a court willing to grant up to a year of authority. The rule keeps residence service narrow too, meaning papers left with a person of suitable age and discretion living at the usual home. See the Ohio sheriff comparison.
