Art. 329 Disbursements for protection, preservation, and administration of seized property

When property gets seized as part of a court case, the sheriff has the authority to spend money on taking care of it. This means the sheriff can pay for things like storage, repairs, insurance, or other costs needed to protect and maintain the property while it's under seizure.

Any money the sheriff spends this way isn't just an expense that disappears. It gets added to the overall costs of the seizure, which means it becomes part of what someone will eventually have to pay as the case moves forward. In practice, this rule makes sure seized property doesn't fall apart or lose value while it's being held, and it also makes sure the sheriff gets reimbursed for keeping it in good shape.
