How do I actually file the case once I get to the courthouse?
The initial eviction case will be filed in the clerk’s office. You will need to have your Complaint, Summons and Civil Cover sheet at the time of the filing. After the clerk files the case, you will need to place the Summons for Service with the Sheriff’s office.
