Why must I pay an additional $18.00 for a second writ of restitution to evict a tenant?
After a writ of restitution has been filed in the Landlord and Tenant clerk’s office and the U.S. Marshal has not evicted the tenant within the applicable 75 days, only an additional $18.00 is required for a second writ of restitution, $8.00 for the U.S. Marshal fee and $10 for the clerk’s. Any questions regarding eviction procedures must be directed to the U.S. marshal. The U.S. marshal’s office is located on the C level in the main building of the H. Carl Moultrie Courthouse. Only a landlord and tenant judge may set aside the $10 clerk’s fee.
