In the 16th Judicial Circuit, the Unit of Service & Judgment Enforcement performs the same duties as a sheriff’s civil division in other Missouri counties. The authority to perform those duties is granted under the Jackson County Home Rule Charter which was approved by a majority of qualified electors on November 3, 1970 and became effective January 1, 1973. Those duties include:
- Serve circuit, associate circuit, probate and criminal summons, notices, protection orders and subpoenas.
- Execute pre and post judgment orders and writs i.e. order of delivery (replevins) writ of attachment, restitution (eviction), levy by actual seizure of personal and real property and levy by garnishment.
- Conduct the annual Court Administrator’s Delinquent Land Tax sale in Kansas City and Independence. All Court files regarding those sales are maintained at this location.
The Unit of Service & Judgment Enforcement is in no way connected to or involved with private process servers. It does not supervise nor bear any responsibility for private process servers.
