FAQ

Q.

How do I evict someone from a property I own?

A.

This is a three-step process:

  1. Notice to Quit (this can be a 3-day or 10-day notice, served by the Sheriff's Office).
  2. Forcible Entry and Detainer (this will involve a court date).
  3. Writ of Possession (this is the actual eviction)

We are unable to provide legal notice. You will have to seek legal counsel if necessary.

Q.

How do I pick up recovered stolen property or evidence that can be returned?

To pick up property, it is necessary to make an appointment with Evidence Support Staff by calling 641-484-3760.
