entity for services in appraising the subject property pursuant to
the requirements of subsection B of this section.
B. If a general or special execution is levied upon lands and
tenements, the sheriff shall endorse on the face of the writ the
legal description and shall have three disinterested persons who
have taken an oath to impartially appraise the property levied on or
a legal entity which has provided a written affidavit of
impartiality, upon actual view; and the disinterested persons or
legal entity shall return to the officer a signed estimate of the

return their estimate of the real value of the property.

subsequent statutory period, prior to the expiration of such period,
a certified copy of one of the following must be filed and indexed
in the same manner as judgments in the office of the county clerk in
the county in which the statement of judgment was filed and the lien
thereof is sought to be retained:
1. A general execution upon the judgment;
2. A notice of renewal of judgment;
3. A garnishment summons issued against the judgment debtor; or
4. A notice of income assignment sent to a payor of the
