Trumbull County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
The clerk mails summonses unless a plaintiff requests personal or residence service from the sheriff, a bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who Serves Papers Across Two Counties: Clerk Mail, Sheriff or Designee
Mail, by certified or express mail or a signature carrier, is Civ.R. 4.1(A)'s default. For personal or residence service, the plaintiff files a written request, and the clerk sends common pleas papers to the sheriff of the county where the defendant lives. For the Weathersfield side that is the Trumbull County Sheriff's Office; an Austintown Township defendant falls to the Mahoning County sheriff. Municipal courts use their bailiff, and any court may designate a qualified person by order under 4.1(E) and (D). After 28 days, unserved papers go back to the clerk.
