Without a request, the clerk mails the summons certified. With a written plaintiff request for personal or residence service, the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server delivers.
Who May Serve Papers in Carroll County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Carroll County works under Civ.R. 4.1, so mail is the clerk's job and hand delivery waits for a written request. A server who cannot finish in 28 days returns the process to the clerk, noting why, and late service does not by itself invalidate the delivery.
