Eviction Process and Fees

Eviction Process:

1.  The landlord must serve a written notice of eviction to the tenant, which will be done by a Sheriff's Deputy or Constable. If served by the Daviess County Sheriff's Office, they will also provide a typed copy of the notice.
2. The tenant has 30 days from the date of service to vacate the premises.
3. If the tenant fails to vacate within 30 days, the landlord must file for an eviction hearing at the Small Claims Office on the second floor of the Judicial Center.
4. Both the landlord and the tenant will receive a Notice of Eviction Hearing, requiring their appearance before a judge on the specified court date.
5. If the tenant still does not vacate as ordered by the judge, the property owner must file for a Writ of Possession at the Small Claims Office in the Judicial Center.
6. The Writ of Possession must be served by a Sheriff's Deputy or Constable.
