Ohio clerks mail most summonses. Only a request for personal or residence service brings in the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who Serves Papers in Hamilton County: Clerk or Sheriff
Civil Rule 4.1(A) starts with certified or express mail, or a signature-collecting commercial carrier. A written request switches to personal or residence service. Common pleas papers then go to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, municipal papers to the bailiff, or either to a court-designated person under 4.1(E). Rule 4.1(D) requires that person to be 18 or older and free of any stake in the case, among other conditions. A server who cannot finish in 28 days writes the reasons on the papers and sends them back to the clerk.
