Who May Serve Papers in Tuscarawas County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
If you are used to hiring anyone with a clean record to deliver a summons, Ohio's Civ.R. 4.1 will surprise you. It names the sheriff, a municipal court bailiff and a person the court designates, and only after a written request. Designation requires an oath that the person is 18 or older, not a party, and not on probation or parole, among other items. Ask the clerk what your court requires.
