LANDLORD/TENANT UNIT

One of the duties of the Sheriff is to provide enforcement for court ordered assistance to property owners. Evictions are an unfortunate but necessary part of that duty. The Landlord/Tenant Unit is responsible for the service of all related summonses and notices regarding the eviction process. This unit works in accordance with the District Court of Maryland.

WRITS OF EXECUTION

The Landlord/Tenant section also handles Writs of Executions. The purpose of a Writ of Execution is to attempt to satisfy a money judgment that has been issued by the Court, by either collecting payment for the total judgment or by doing a levy and/or seizure of personal or real property owed by the Debtor/Defendant. The Sheriff’s Office has seized numerous vehicles, boats, furniture, office equipment, homes and has been directed to sell some of these items at Public Auction, better known as a Sheriff’s Sale to collect the monies owed.
