Who May Serve Papers in Stark County: Mail, Sheriff or Designee
Under Civ.R. 4.1(A) a summons first travels by certified or express mail, or a commercial carrier that collects a signature. A written request opens personal service or residence service, with the papers left with a suitable person living in the home. Common pleas service falls to the Stark County Sheriff's Office, municipal service to the bailiff, and a court may designate someone by order who swears to the 4.1(D) requirements, valid for up to a year. Twenty-eight days without success means the papers are returned with the reasons written on them.
