Latest Legislation: House Bill 254 - 114th General Assembly
(A) The levying officer shall execute an order of attachment, after it has taken effect, without delay. He shall go to the place where the defendant's property is, and he or his agent shall make a true inventory and appraisement of all the property which shall be set forth in his or his agent's affidavit and returned with the order. When the property is real property, the officer shall leave a copy of the order with the occupant of the property, or, if there is no occupant, in a conspicuous place on the property. When it is personal property and can be reached, he shall take it into his custody and hold it in a secure place subject to the order of the court, and shall deliver a copy of the order to the defendant, or if he is unable to find the defendant shall leave a copy at the address where the property was detained; but, if removal of the property from the address where it is detained would be unreasonably expensive, the officer may take possession by conspicuously placing a notice of possession on the property. The delivery of the order under this division is required in addition to the service of the order required by section 2715.045 or 2715.05 of the Revised Code.
(B) Unless the order of attachment directed to the levying officer specifies otherwise, the officer, in the execution of the order, may use any lawful means to enter any building or enclosure, other than an occupied dwelling unit, in which property that can be applied to the plaintiff's claim is contained, if reasonable efforts to obtain voluntary admittance have failed. If the officer enters the building or enclosure to take possession of property without first obtaining permission to enter, he shall file with the court on the next business day an affidavit setting forth the circumstances of his entry and the reasons he was unable to obtain voluntary admittance.
