Ashland County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
In Ohio, the clerk mails the summons by certified mail unless the plaintiff asks otherwise. A written request for personal or residence service puts the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server to work.
Who May Serve Papers in Ashland County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Civ.R. 4.1 splits service into clerk mail, personal service and residence service. The latter two require a written request, and the clerk then forwards the papers to the sheriff, to a municipal bailiff, or to a court-designated person. A server unable to serve within 28 days returns the paper with reasons. Designation lasts up to a year and requires an oath about age, interest in the case and background. Ask the clerk what your court requires.
