Can you explain the eviction process?

Upon receipt of the Writ of Possession by the Sheriff's Office, the responsible Deputy Sheriff will immediately begin the eviction process of notifying the tenant of the pending eviction to be enforced after 72 hours notification to the tenant. The ten day court appeal period will have elapsed before eviction takes place.

All evictions will be subject to the following rules:

• The Sheriff’s Office shall coordinate with the landlord to insure the landlord will be prepared to change locks or lock the premises of the tenant on the eviction date.
• The landlord must furnish all labor to do the eviction; locksmith, plumber, and a representative/landlord, if such be necessary. In the event the landlord does not make   such preparations, the deputy may cancel the eviction which  would require the landlord  to repeat the entire legal procedure.
• The Sheriff's Office cannot be held accountable for weather conditions. In the event of inclement weather, the eviction will be continued to the next predicted fair day and the tenant will be notified.
• It shall be the responsibility of the Sheriff’s Office to communicate with the plaintiff, landlord, or agent before the scheduled eviction for the purpose of determining rain date continuances, determining any request for cancellation or change, and coordinating any other preparations for the eviction.

• Evictions continued at the request of the Plaintiff will be re-scheduled one time  only. After on such continuance, the Writ of Possession will be returned to the court without action and a new Writ of Possession will be required.
