A replevin action is used for resolving civil disputes involving personal property. This process allows an individual to recover property which another person refuses to return. Before filing a complaint, a person must know where the property is located.
For personal property valued at $50,000 or less, you can download the forms for filing a replevin in County Court, or for a small fee you may obtain copies from the Clerk’s office. (There are no forms available from the Clerk’s office for amounts greater than $50,000.) You may pick up the packet in person at the Lake County Courthouse, 550 W. Main St., East Wing, First Floor, Tavares. There is an instruction sheet attached with information on the filing process and the associated filing fees.
