Eviction Process
Once the eviction order is received from the Circuit Clerk, deputies have five business days to complete the order. A deputy will post an eviction note on the respondent's door stating a date/time he/she will return to turn possession of real estate over to the plaintiff. The plaintiff is responsible for removal of all remaining property and placing it curbside. Deputies will not remove the remaining property.
