Despite its name, Logan Elm Village in Pickaway County is not an incorporated village, and a process server delivering a summons, subpoena, eviction notice or other court papers there is working in unincorporated Circleville Township. Orders go through the order form at Standard, Rush or 24-Hour speed, with a signed proof of service emailed after a successful delivery. It is a Census-designated place with 1,045 residents in 2020 and no municipal government, and Circleville Township's trustees govern it.
