History
Committee Notes 1980 Amendment. The description of the property to be levied on has to be made general so it encompasses all property subject to execution under section 56.061, Florida Statutes (1979). 2018 Adoption. Form 1.914(c) is used by a claimant to respond to a Notice to Appear under section 56.29(2), Florida Statutes. Legal defenses need not be filed under oath, but must be served contemporaneously with the affidavit. If the claimant’s property has already been levied upon, he or she may obtain possession of the property by filing with the officer having the execution a copy of this affidavit and by furnishing the officer a bond with surety, as set forth in section 56.16, Florida Statutes.
