Chatham County Magistrate Court

Most of the time taken for eviction if due to the mailing of documents. Even after an immedite writ is issued the form is sent to the sherriff office via mail. FAxe and Email would be more reliable and faster, but then it has been 4 days and the sherri still does mot have documents and he will not schedule eviction tile has it in hand. So , now it is going to be 9-10 days after the immediate write before the eviction happens. IN the meantime I am a small business and depend on this income to survive. Just not right???!!!

In Chatham County it is, 99$( 49 to file, 50 for sheriff to deliver) to file a lawsuit in small claims court. You can sue someone up to $15,000. Very easy process.

Process for evictions has slowed tremendously over the past year. They use a new system to file evictions online, the old online system was much better. Another government step backward - go figure.
