Richland County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
Without a request from the plaintiff, nothing is hand-delivered. If the plaintiff files a written request for personal or residence service, it is the sheriff, a municipal bailiff or a court-named server who delivers.
Who May Serve Papers in Richland County: Clerk, Sheriff or Designated Server
Civ.R. 4.1(B) and (C) cover personal and residence service, and each requires a written request. Delivery then goes to the sheriff of the county where the defendant resides, or to a bailiff in municipal court cases. A court-named private server is the alternative. Anyone applying for that role takes an oath on the rule's requirements, and the order lasts up to a year.
