Statutes | Law and Order Code of the Fort McDowell Yavapai Community,Arizona Chapter 20 Article IX. ยง20-144 | 2020
A creditor shall not remove personal property within the jurisdiction or territory of the Nation except in strict compliance with the following:
A. When valid written consent to remove the personal property from the territory of the Nation has been secured from the debtor at the time repossession is sought. Any language contained in a purchase agreement or other such agreement used to secure personal property purporting to authorize the removal of the personal property from the jurisdiction or territory of the Nation shall be null and void and unenforceable. Such written consent shall be retained by the creditor and exhibited to the Tribal police or other Tribal official upon proper demand. The Tribal Council may consent to removal in an original agreement on behalf of the Nation, but such authorization to remove must also be specifically stated in the duly authorizing resolution of the Tribal Council to be effective.
B. When the debtor refuses to sign said written consent to permit removal of the property from the territory of the Nation, the property shall be removed only by a valid repossession order of the Tribal Court obtained in a repossession proceeding and such order shall be exhibited to the Tribal police or other Tribal official upon proper demand.
