A certified copy of the judgment of any court in this state may be filed and recorded in the office of the county recorder in each county where the judgment creditor desires the judgment to become a lien on the real property of the judgment debtor.
Collection Methods There are 2 primary methods to collect a debt: Writ of Garnishment or Writ of Execution. Writ of Garnishment is often referred to as garnishing a debtor's wages. A written notice is served to both the debtor and the debtor's employer or financial institution.
How does a creditor go about getting a judgment lien in Arizona? To attach the lien, the creditor files and records a judgment with the county recorder in any Arizona county where the debtor owns property now or where they may own property in the future.
The first step to filing a mechanics lien is to record a Notice and Claim of Lien within 60 days after the property owner has recorded a Notice of Completion. If a notice has not been recorded, however, you will have 120 days after the completion of the project to record the claim.
A Judgment is enforceable for ten (10) years from date of Judgment. The Judgment may be renewed prior to the expiration of the Judgment date for an additional ten (10) years. The Judgment belongs to you, the Judgment Creditor. You may or may not collect.
The 2018 amendments doubled the time limitations in Arizona's judgment validity and renewal statutes. Beginning August 3, 2018, the former five-year judgment renewal and validity period was extended to ten years. So if your judgment was entered on August 3, 2018, it will expire on August 3, 2028 unless renewed.
In Arizona, a judgment is initially effective for ten years after the date of its entry, and execution must be accomplished within that period.
The filing of the affidavit in the office of the clerk of the court where the judgment is entered and docketed shall renew and revive the judgment to the extent of the balance shown due in the affidavit. An order of the court, or other action by a judge, is not necessary to complete the renewal.
Judgments in Arizona must be renewed every ten years. When a judgment creditor fails to properly renew, the result is the inability to enforce the judgment through a writ of execution or other process.
