Only about 3.2 miles separate Reedurban from the Stark County Courthouse in Canton, which makes this Stark County community a short trip for a process server carrying a summons, complaint, subpoena or eviction notice. Orders can be Standard, Rush or 24-Hour, and after a successful delivery a signed proof of service is emailed to you. Reedurban, with 5,889 people, is a Census-designated place, meaning an unincorporated area rather than a city or village. It lies inside Perry Township, and the township trustees govern it.
What a Process Server Costs in Reedurban
You pay $185 for Standard Service, whose first attempt is within 5 business days, or $225 for Rush Service, whose first attempt is within 48 hours. Paying $265 for 24-Hour Service seeks a first attempt within 24 hours, yet the rates page offers no assurance on it and says early orders in the bigger metro areas suit it best; in Reedurban, submission time and server availability decide. More attempts after failed service cost $25 per attempt.
Stark County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
A summons usually travels by certified mail from the clerk. Hand delivery by the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server needs the plaintiff's written request.
Who May Serve Process in Stark County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff or Designated Server
Civ.R. 4.1 puts clerk mail, certified or express with a return receipt or by signing commercial carrier, ahead of everything else. Personal service, to the defendant directly, and residence service, through a suitable resident at the defendant's home, require a written request. When the case is in common pleas court and the defendant lives in Reedurban, the clerk sends that process to the Stark County Sheriff's Office; municipal courts use their bailiff. A court may also designate someone by order under 4.1(E) for up to a year, once that person swears to the 4.1(D) list, from age and photo ID to a ten-year clean record. A server who cannot finish in 28 days returns the papers with the reasons. See the certified-mail guide.
