Warrant to take items you own
A warrant to seize property allows the sheriff to go to your home or business (if you own the business) and take non-secured items to sell. A warrant to seize property is valid for one year. Non-secured items are valuable things that you own outright, for example, your car. Your car will not be seized if it is your primary form of transport and it is worth less than $8150. You can keep household goods that help you live in basic comfort, for example, your fridge, television, washing machine, basic furniture and clothing.
When the sheriff arrives at your house, they will produce the warrant and explain that if you don’t pay the amount required, goods will be seized and auctioned to pay off the debt….
