Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) warns property owners about a new "squatting" law starting July 1, which allows them to ask JSO to remove unauthorized occupants. To enforce the law, conditions must be met, including the unauthorized person not being a tenant or immediate family member. Property owners must complete a form on JSO's website and call the non-emergency number for action.
