New Richmond, a Clermont County village of 2,726 with its own police department, is the sort of place where a process server delivers summonses and complaints, subpoenas, eviction notices and other court papers ordered online. Pick Standard Service ($185, first attempt within 5 business days), Rush Service ($225, first attempt within 48 hours) or 24-Hour Service ($265, first attempt aimed within 24 hours). The order form starts it, and a signed proof of service follows any delivery that succeeds.
What a Process Server Costs in New Richmond
Standard Service at $185 and Rush Service at $225 sit at opposite ends of the schedule's reliable range. The $265 tier is different: a first attempt within 24 hours is not promised, and the rates page says it is most practical for early orders in the Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Akron and Toledo areas. Cincinnati is on that list, but New Richmond's availability still depends on submission time and server availability. A $25 charge applies to each extra attempt. See rates.
Clermont County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
Most Clermont County summonses go out as the clerk's certified mail. Personal or residence service, when a plaintiff requests it in writing, falls to the sheriff, a municipal bailiff or a court-designated server.
