Preble County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
By default the clerk mails the summons; with a written request for personal or residence service, the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server delivers it.
Who May Serve Papers in Preble County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
The idea that anyone can simply serve a summons is a common misconception about Ohio. Civ.R. 4.1 relies on mail from the clerk, and on the sheriff, a bailiff or a person the court names when personal service is requested. The court's designation of a private server runs for up to one year and ends if the person stops meeting the rule's requirements. A server who cannot deliver in 28 days returns the process with the reasons. The Civ.R. 4.1 article explains more.
