Monroe Township in Holmes County touches four ZIP codes and is 5.8 miles from the courthouse in Millersburg, and a process server there delivers summonses, subpoenas, eviction notices and other court papers. The online order page takes each job. Your tier choice governs the turnaround, and a signed proof of service is emailed after a delivery succeeds.

Holmes County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
Certified mail from the clerk starts things off. A written plaintiff's request for personal or residence service brings in the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server.
