Writs of Restitution received Monday through Thursday of any given week will be served by Friday of the same week. Writs received on Friday will carry over to the following week. Moves take place on the next Thursday, if necessary. A 48-hour notice is served on the tenant or if no one is available, the notice is posted.

A fee for the service of the 48-hour notice is $100.00, which must be paid upon presentation of the Writ of Restitution. Checks must be made payable to: Racine County Sheriff.

If the tenant has not moved as requested, the landlord needs to schedule the eviction. If the landlord wishes to use Eagle Movers for the eviction, an Eagle Movers Letter of Authority must be received in the Records Bureau by 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday to proceed with the eviction.
Contact Eagle Movers directly for rates and related information. If we do not receive a Letter of Authority from the landlord by the deadline, the Writ of Restitution expires and is returned to the Clerk of Courts.

If the landlord is choosing to remove/store/dispose of the property themselves, the eviction will be automatically scheduled at the time the Writ of Restitution and Property Disposal Selection Form are submitted.

The moves begin at approximately 9:00 a.m. on Thursdays and are scheduled by location.
This schedule may adjust due to federal holidays. Landlords will be called roughly ten to fifteen minutes prior to Deputy arrival.  We are not able to provide further timeframe information.

If the landlord wishes to cancel the move, they have until 8:15am on the scheduled move-out date to notify Civil Process; additional fees from Eagle Movers may apply for cancelling. Please consult the Eagle Movers- Racine CO Eviction Rates document for specific information about their fee structure. Eagle Movers- Racine CO Eviction Rates

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR WRIT OF RESTITUTION FILED WITH THE RACINE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE:

• Evictions will begin at 9:00 a.m. on Thursdays (except when adjusted for Federal Holidays) and are scheduled based on location.
