Once an execution is turned into the Sheriff's Office, the following procedures take place:
- A file is created and assigned to one of the civil process servers. Research is done on the defendant's assets. Assets include:
- Bank accounts
- Boats
- Motorcycles
- Property
- Vehicles
- If the plaintiff would like vehicles seized, the fee for towing is a flat fee plus mileage. This fee is added to the defendant’s costs.
- 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.
