Champaign County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
Summonses go out from the clerk by certified mail unless the plaintiff requests personal or residence service in writing, which brings in the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who May Serve Papers in Champaign County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
A defendant who lives near a county line raises a practical question: whose sheriff? Civ.R. 4.1 answers with the sheriff of the county where the party resides or may be found, and Civ.R. 4.6(A) lets process be served anywhere in Ohio, so a Logan County or Union County address is no barrier. A court-designated person is the other route. See the special process server article.
