The Pennsylvania Code website reflects the Pennsylvania Code changes effective through 54 Pa.B. 5598 (August 31, 2024).

246 Pa. Code Rule 406. Property Subject to Levy.

Rule 406. Property Subject to Levy.

 The levy pursuant to the order of execution issued by the magisterial district judge shall be made only upon tangible, nonperishable personal property of the defendant. The levy may be made upon any such property within the county wherein the order is issued.

   Official Note

   The first sentence in this rule restricts levy pursuant to an order of execution issued by a magisterial district judge to levy upon tangible, nonperishable personal property of the defendant. It was thought that the various intricacies applying to levy or attachment execution upon other types of property, particularly when garnishees are involved (see Pa. R.C.P. Nos. 3140—3148) were too technical and certainly too time consuming for magisterial district court execution proceedings.
