Fla. Stat. § 723.001 et seq. § 723.062
Removal of mobile home owner; process.
Operative Text
(1) In an action for possession, after entry of judgment in favor of the mobile home park owner, the clerk shall issue a writ of possession to the sheriff, describing the lot or premises and commanding the sheriff to put the mobile home park owner in possession. The writ of possession shall not issue earlier than 10 days from the date judgment is granted. (2) At the time the sheriff executes the writ of possession, the landlord or the landlord’s agent may remove any personal property, including the mobile home, found on the premises to or near the property line or, in the case of the mobile home, into storage. If requested by the landlord, the sheriff shall stand by to keep the peace while the landlord removes personal property. When such a request is made, the sheriff may charge a reasonable hourly rate, and the person requesting the sheriff to stand by to keep the peace shall be responsible for paying the reasonable hourly rate set by the sheriff. Neither the sheriff nor the landlord nor his or her agent shall be responsible to the tenant or any other party for loss, destruction, or damage to the property after it has been removed.
Florida Statute § 723.062 establishes the legal process by which a mobile home park owner may regain possession of a lot after winning an eviction judgment. A writ of possession, issued by the court clerk and directed to the sheriff, cannot be executed until at least 10 days after the judgment is entered. Once the writ is executed, the landlord may move the tenant's personal property—including the mobile home itself—to the property line or into storage, and neither the sheriff nor the landlord bears legal responsibility for loss or damage to that property after it has been relocated.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Fla. Stat. § 723.062, compliant mobile home park operators wait for a court judgment and the mandatory 10-day waiting period before any writ of possession is executed. At the time of execution, operators or their agents may move personal property, including the mobile home, to the property line or arrange for storage. Operators who request the sheriff's presence to keep the peace during removal should be prepared to pay the sheriff's reasonable hourly rate for that service.

Fla. Stat. § 723.062 provides mobile home residents with at least a 10-day window after a judgment is entered before a writ of possession can be carried out, offering a brief period to respond or make arrangements. Tenants should be aware that once the writ is executed, the landlord is permitted to move personal property—including the mobile home—to the property line or into storage, and the statute removes liability from the landlord and sheriff for loss or damage after removal. Tenants facing eviction proceedings under this provision may benefit from contacting a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand available options before that 10-day period expires.
