Article 80 - Fees
8013 - Expenses of Sheriffs.

(b) Appraisal of attached property. A sheriff, where an estimate of
the value of property levied upon by virtue of an order of attachment is
made, shall be entitled to reimbursement for such compensation to
appraisers actually employed thereupon as the court which granted the
order of attachment may allow.
(c) Other expenses. A sheriff is entitled to reimbursement of all
expenses necessarily incurred in the execution of any mandate and in the
protection, presentation, transportation or sale of property.
(d) Payment in advance. A sheriff, whenever he deems it necessary, may
require payment to him in advance to cover any or all expenses for which
he is entitled to reimbursement; advance payments made in connection
with a mandate or direction affecting property shall be repaid by the
sheriff out of the proceeds of the sale of the property, if any.
