Who May Serve Papers in Sandusky County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
A township with Erie County neighbors invites the question of which sheriff serves. Under Civ.R. 4.1 it is the sheriff of the county where the party resides or may be found, and Civ.R. 4.6(A) lets process go anywhere in Ohio. A court order can name a private person instead, for up to a year. See the Civ.R. 4.1 article.
