Broward County Final Notice of Eviction
The Writ of Possession is the final phase of the Court eviction process. This is the order by the Court, which upon issuance by the clerk, directs the Sheriff of the County to place the tenants on notice that after 24 hours the Sheriff will cause the Plaintiff to be put back in possession of the premises.When the Sheriff’s Office gets the Writ of Possession, they append a Notice of Final Eviction. The Broward County Sheriff’s Office Notice reads as follows:

Timing for the posting of this notice can vary depending on the Sheriff’s Office workload and the time of year. Generally, once the Sheriff’s Office receives the order from the Court, the property is posted withint one to five business days.
