The Sheriff's Office handles evictions that involve the enforcement of a court order or warrant. The fee for performing an eviction is $130.00.

Examples of court orders:

If a property owner buys a foreclosed property and the tenants refuse to leave.

A divorce action where one party is awarded the property and the other party refuses to leave.

• A warrant of eviction, also known as a warrant of dispossess, is issued by the court to recover possession of real property. It is most frequently used where a landlord wishes to remove a tenant for non-payment of rent or to remove a tenant who remains in the property after the expiration of the lease. Landlord/tenant cases in NYC Civil Court that result in an eviction are generally handled by the City Marshals.

What you need to bring/send if applicable:

• Petition Hold Over
• Notice of Petition Hold Over
• Stipulation of Settlement
• Completed Eviction Intake Form
• Check or Money Order for $130.00 made out to "NYC Sheriff"
• Court order

You must bring or send these items to the Sheriff's Office in the borough where the property is located.
