Once an execution is turned into the Sheriff's Office, the following procedures take place:
The plaintiff fills out a questionnaire about the defendant including their known property and bank accounts. The plaintiff will pay a $95 fee plus $10 flat rate mileage fee. The fees are added to defendant's costs.
If the plaintiff would like vehicles seized, the fee for towing is $120.00 per vehicle. This fee is added to the defendant’s costs.
A file is created and assigned to one of the civil process servers. Research is done on the defendants assets. (vehicles, boats, motorcycles, property, bank accounts).
The civil process servers may levy (seize) the defendant’s property to satisfy the judgment. Physical assets levied, such as vehicles, will be sold at a Sheriff’s Sale to satisfy the judgment.
The Sheriff's Office has sixty days to return the judgment.
The judgment will be returned satisfied, partially satisfied or unsatisfied.
If the judgment is satisfied or partially satisfied a check will be issued after 15 days.
