Who May Serve Papers in Darke County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Neave Township is close enough to the county seat that some plaintiffs consider dropping papers off themselves. Civ.R. 4.1 does not allow a party to serve original process, so the options are the clerk's mail, the sheriff on written request, or a person the court designates. The Civ.R. 4.1 guide lists what a designated person must swear to.
