Who May Serve Papers in Delaware County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
A plaintiff in Delaware County need not hire anyone to start a case, since the clerk mails the summons under Civ.R. 4.1. Where hand delivery is wanted, a written request sends the papers to the sheriff, a municipal bailiff or a court-designated person; the designation lasts up to one year.
