Who May Serve Papers in Union County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Union County's clerk applies Civ.R. 4.1 the way every Ohio clerk does. Without a request, mail goes out; with one, the process is delivered to the sheriff, a municipal bailiff or a person the court designates under 4.1(E). Designation lasts up to a year and requires an oath that the person is at least 18 and not a party. Ask the clerk what your court requires.
