SCHEDULE “A” DISTRIBUTION = A Distribution of Funds

Approximately 30 days after the sale the Adams County Sheriff’s Office will prepare a Schedule “A” Distribution. Our office will then forward a copy to your email. 

The Schedule “A” Distribution directs us how the money you paid for the property will be disbursed. We follow the PA Rules of Civil Procedure when determining these payments, which are made in priority order. 

The Schedule “A” Distribution is available for 10 days at the Sheriffs Office and is made part of the case history in the Prothonotary’s Office. Unless exceptions are filed on or before the 10th day, distribution will be made in accordance with the proposed schedule. 

Facts to remember:

• The Sheriff’s Office does not have keys to the property. 
• You may be responsible for additional liens. 
• Each purchase is unique so situations and issues will vary from case to case. 
• Seek legal advice for all matters related to the eviction process. 
• The Sheriff’s Deed is the last step in the distribution process. Once the deed is recorded, it will be mailed to you, approximately 45 days after the sale. Your self-addressed stamped envelope is required.
