Belmont County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
Clerk mail is the default, and a written request for personal or residence service brings in the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server.
Who May Serve Papers in Belmont County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
For Ohio, the safest summary is to treat the clerk as the first server and the sheriff as the second. Civ.R. 4.1 writes it that way: mail first, then, on written request, the sheriff of the county where the party resides or may be found. A person designated by court order is a third route, valid up to a year. Our special process server article explains the order.
