Loveland Park straddles a county line, so a process server delivering there for a Warren County or Hamilton County case checks which side an address is on. Summonses, subpoenas, eviction notices and other court papers can go out in ZIP 45140 at Standard, Rush or 24-Hour Service, and a signed proof of service is emailed after a successful delivery. Loveland Park is an unincorporated Census-designated place of 1,737 residents (2020) with no city or village government. About seven in ten residents live in Deerfield Township in Warren County and the rest in Symmes Township in Hamilton County, each governed by its own trustees.

Warren County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
The clerk normally uses certified mail. A written request for personal or residence service passes the papers to a sheriff, a bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who May Serve Papers Here: Clerk Mail, the Sheriff or a Designated Server
Civ.R. 4.1 sends personal or residence service to the sheriff of the county where the defendant lives. On the Deerfield Township side that is the Warren County Sheriff's Office; on the Symmes Township side it is the Hamilton County sheriff. Municipal courts use their bailiff, and any court may designate a person by order for up to a year after an oath to the 4.1(D) requirements. A server stuck past 28 days endorses why and sends the process back to the clerk.
