OFFICE HOURS

8:00 AM – 4:00 PM

EXCLUDING COUNTY HOLIDAYS

The Civil Enforcement Unit is staffed by highly trained professionals committed to processing, serving, and enforcing the orders of the Superior Court of California, including the Civil, Family Law, and Probate Divisions. In addition, the unit serves as the designated Levying Officer for the County of San Bernardino.

We handle all mandated civil processes in accordance with the California Government Code and the California Code of Civil Procedure. Our services include, but are not limited to, wage garnishments, evictions, personal and real property levies, restraining orders, Civil Bench Warrants, and Sheriff’s sales.

To maximize the likelihood of a successful service, we encourage you to submit your documents to our office as early as possible. The more time we have to effect service, the greater the chance of timely completion. Upon completion of service, results will be mailed to the individual and address provided on your instruction form.

Please note: Certain court documents—such as Small Claims actions, Summons and Complaints, Subpoenas, and Restraining Orders—may be served by any individual over the age of eighteen who is not a party to the case.

We accept service requests in person, by mail, email, or fax. Payment may be made by cash, check, debit card, or credit card.

Sheriff’s Property Sales

Notice of Fees for Electronically Transmitted Documents:

Effective January 1, 2026, the Sheriff’s Office will assess fees in accordance with California Government Code sections 26666.5 and 26727 for documents transmitted electronically.

Pursuant to Government Code section 26666.5, the Sheriff may charge actual costs associated with processing electronically transmitted documents. Because service of process must be completed in person, all electronically received documents must be printed to facilitate physical service.

Under Government Code section 26727, printing constitutes making a copy, for which a fee of $1.25 per page may be charged for copies actually made by the Sheriff.

These charges will be in addition to the standard service fee per person required for service of process.

Effective January 1, 2025, Assembly Bill 2837 (AB-2837) requires creditors to provide our office with a signed declaration verifying the debtor’s address, in accordance with CCP 684.130(b)(2). Please complete the Judgment Debtor Address Declaration and submit it along with your instruction form and service documents.

Instructions to the Sheriff

A completed and signed Judicial Council Form SER-001 must accompany all service requests. Complete this form for each set of papers and for every person you need served. If your service is for a Writ or Levy, you must also complete and attach Special Instructions Form SER-001A. You can pay for your service with a credit card by completing and submitting the Credit Card Authorization Form.

If you request an eviction service and deputies to force entry, please complete and submit the Forced Entry Waiver.

We will make every effort to serve your papers promptly. Please submit your papers to be served to us as soon as possible. The more time we have to serve your papers will increase the chances of a successful service. We will mail you the results of the service.

If you want us to enforce a wage garnishment on an employer, do not complete the SER-001. Instead, use Judicial Council Forms WG-001, Application for Earnings Withholding Order, and WG-035, Confidential Statement of Judgment Debtor’s Social Security Number.

The Sheriff’s Department does not conduct investigations to locate persons for service of civil process. We do not perform service on post office boxes.
