Civil Division at the Sheriff's Office

The Nez Perce County Sheriff's Civil Division is open from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday excluding holidays. 

 

THE CIVIL DIVISION DOES NOT GIVE LEGAL ADVICE. IF YOU NEED HELP WITH A LEGAL SITUATION, CONTACT AN ATTORNEY.

The Civil Division’s primary function is to assist the general public and state entities in serving civil and court documents to individuals regarding civil and criminal actions being brought against them. This includes a close working relationship with the deputies assigned to serve the paperwork to ensure every effort is made to secure proper service. Civil service includes but is not limited to: summons and complaints, protection and no contact orders, garnishments, subpoenas, paperwork from the Dept. of Health and Welfare, juvenile summons, small claims, evictions, notices, and writs of executions.

This division is happy to assist anyone with procedural questions regarding any of the civil paper process. Our staff strives to be informative, professional and courteous to the general public as well as other agencies seeking our services.

The Civil Division is responsible for collecting delinquent property taxes under Warrants of Distraint (Idaho Code 63-1012 & 63-1106). Civil also executes upon a Writ of Execution by seizing personal and real property. Civil then conducts sheriff’s sales on personal and real property. Please refer to the civil fee chart for details on cost.

A $62.00 fee is required for a Writ of Execution and Continuing Garnishment. There is a $15.00 fee for Interim Returns on each check received from a garnishee.
