| State Law requires the Sheriff to collect all delinquent Woodson
County Property taxes owed. Delinquent Tax Bills are called Tax Warrants. They DO NOT
call for an arrest. Delinquent Tax Warrants are issued twice a year by the Woodson County
Treasurer's Office and sent to the Sheriff. |

| The Sheriff’s Office serves court orders for the removal of
persons from a residence or other place so that the property may be restored to another.
These orders are called Writs of Restitution and they are usually issued as the last step
in a legal action by a landlord to take possession of property such as an apartment,
duplex or house. The eviction process normally begins when the landlord provides tenants
with a letter called a “Notice To Vacate”. If the tenants do not comply with the
landlord’s demands after three (3) days, legal action may be initiated by the
landlord in District Court. The Clerk of the District Court will issue a Summons and
Petition that will require the tenants to appear in court on designated dates so that a
judge may decide whether to order an eviction of the tenants.

| Mortgage Foreclosure Sales are held at the request of an attorney
representing a client who has a financial interest in a particular piece of real property.
These sales are held by Orders of the Court and take place on the south steps of the
Woodson County Courthouse. Notice of sales are advertised in the local newspapers giving
the exact date & times and legal description of the property being sold. The Sheriff's
Office does not have a listing of properties to be sold. The public is invited to all
sales held and anyone may bid. Sales will be awarded to the highest successful bidder. The
funds must be paid by the successful bidder, at the time of the sale. Funds must be cash
or certified funds. No personal checks or money orders accepted. All taxes owed on the
property are due at time of sale.

| You may obtain information from the Woodson County District Court
Office concerning how to apply for a Protection From Abuse Order (PFA). (620) 625-8610
Kansas law sets out certain requirements to obtain a PFA Order that must be
satisfied before a Judge will issue such a Court Order. This type of Court Order is
usually issued in cases of domestic violence where one partner desires protection from
another person. A Protection From Abuse Order issued by the court may direct a specific
person to be restrained from contacting another, to not engage in certain acts, and to be
removed from a residence or a place of employment. These court orders are usually served
by Deputy Sheriffs who have the legal authority to enforce the provisions of the order.
PFA Orders are issued with a court date that provides the parties with an opportunity to
present testimony in a courtroom setting.
