Civil Fugitives - Writ of Restitution

Execution of writ performed by the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office

The Sheriff's Office responsibilities at the time of Eviction:

The Deputy will stand by to keep the peace.
The Deputy will supervise the move out and see that it is done in a peaceful manner. The deputy will oversee until the eviction is complete.
The Deputy will restore the property back to the Landlord/Agent following the completion of the eviction.
Once the Writ of Restitution is complete, Deputy will post a "No Trespassing Sign" as well as a copy of the Order.

Note: Any questions regarding storage of property, landlord liens, etc. must be handled through YOUR attorney. Colorado State Statute 30-10-520 STRICTLY prohibits Deputies from giving legal advice.

If the Tenant moves out:

The Landlord/Agent needs to contact the Sheriff's Office 583-6405, to cancel the eviction at least 24 Hours before the scheduled time. Failure to do so will result in loss of fees for execution.

If the Tenant FAILS to move out:

The landlord/Agent must meet the Officers at the property on the scheduled date and time. In the event that the Landlord/Agent is running late, notification should be made to the Sheriff's Office and the Deputy will only wait 10 minutes (583-6405).
The Landlord/Agent must provide a crew large enough to remove the Tenant's property within 1 hour and be ready to begin on the scheduled date and time.
Failure to complete the above will result in the Deputy canceling the eviction. It is the responsibility of the landlord to contact the Civil Clerk for the next available date for rescheduling of the eviction.

Landlord should be prepared to:

Change the locks as soon as possible after restoration of the property.
Bring large plastic trash bags (or boxes).
Plastic Gloves.
There should be no breaks or lunch breaks during the execution of the order.
Water Beds - Be prepared to have a water bed pump for draining.
As above, crew large enough to remove property within 1 hour.
