Civil Removal of Trespassers


Recently changes have been made to Washington State Law, giving citizens the ability to remove unauthorized occupant(s) of real property rather than having to complete the eviction process.  WA State RCW 9A.52.105 explains what requirements need to be met in order for this form to be utilized.   Please see the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office Request to Remove Trespasser(s) Citizen Instruction Sheet, which gives a guideline of who this law applies to and how to complete the process. If this applies to your situation, The Whatcom County Sheriff's Office Request to Remove Trespasser(s) Declaration Form is listed below to be printed, completed and given to the WCSO Deputy.  This situation is NOT a civil issue, please do not contact the WCSO Civil Division for further questions.  We advise you to contact an attorney for further questions.
