Sheriff fee set for quick removals

Beginning July 1, 2026, when a property owner or the owner’s agent uses Idaho’s quick process to remove unlawful occupants from a home, the sheriff is entitled to the same fee as for serving a writ of restitution. This replaces the older reference to a writ of possession. The fee applies when the owner files a verified complaint under section 6-310A, the sheriff confirms the owner’s authority, and serves the notice to immediately vacate. The process covers residential property and does not apply to current or former tenants or the owner’s immediate family members.
