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.

Do you need to make an appointment to obtain a gun permit?

A.

Appointments are not necessary. The business office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (excluding holidays).
