Who May Serve Papers in Wood County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Designated Server
Bowling Green, where the county courthouse stands, is 11.3 miles in a straight line from the township, so plaintiffs commonly deal with the clerk remotely. The rules do not shift with the filing method. Civ.R. 4.1 gives clerk mail first place; after a written request it names the sheriff, the municipal bailiff and a person designated under division (E) for up to a year, who must swear to division (D). Under Civ.R. 4.6(A) process may be served anywhere in Ohio, so a defendant who moved to Toledo is still reachable. Service not completed in 28 days is returned to the clerk, with reasons.
