It's not required, but you'd be silly not to do it this way. Here's why: It only costs $11 last time I did it. So $50 now max? Professional Process Servers are notorious for lying about making the service, and the courts know it. Once, the process server told the court he served papers to my wife, who he described as 5"1 and blonde, and 200lbs. When I introduced my 5"6', brunette 120lb wife to the judge, the service was quashed in a heartbeat. Officers if the law, however, will lose their jobs for that kind of thing. They know it, the court knows it. And so they're always credible. And what's more, unlike process servers, they get paid whether or not the service is made (they give it 3 tries). Also, if the sherriff feels someone's avoiding service (or in some jurisdictions, after 3 tries), they can "drop serve" by nailing the subpeona to the door. Private process servers can't do that. Get the sherriffs to do it.

It depends on the laws of process in your jurisdiction. Some may require successful delivery to be considered severed, others may require the process server to just locate an area you frequent commonly (work or home) and attach notice.

Can an eviction notice simply be handed to a tenant without going through a court process?

This depends on the state in which you reside. And it depends on what you mean by an eviction notice. In most states, before an eviction can be filed in court, a notice has to be given to the tenant -- normally three to five days -- by hand, asking the tenant to pay his rent or to move. If the tenant doesn't pay his rent by that time then you may begin to file eviction proceedings. Once you do this, only the sheriff's office, Constable, etc. of your jurisdiction may serve an official notice, thereto known as a summons for eviction, to which the tenant must respond by following the instructions on the front page.
