Idaho Small Claims Court Forms After Judgment: Complete List

Idaho's Court Assistance Office (CAO) publishes standardized forms for every step of post-judgment enforcement — but they're scattered across multiple pages on the court self-help website, with no single checklist telling you which ones you need and in what order. Here's the complete form inventory for judgment collection, organized by enforcement action.

All forms are available free as PDF and RTF downloads at courtselfhelp.idaho.gov. The RTF versions are fillable on your computer before printing.

Writ of Execution (Bank Levies and Personal Property)

Use these when you want to seize money from a bank account or take physical possession of the debtor's non-exempt personal property:

Filing fee: $2 per writ application (paid to the court clerk). You also need written sheriff instructions and sheriff processing fees — those aren't court forms.

Continuing Wage Garnishment

Use these to garnish the debtor's paycheck through their employer. The writ stays active for 90 days:

Same $2 filing fee. The employer also receives interrogatories under I.R.C.P. 69.1(d) requiring them to report the debtor's employment status, pay cycle, and disposable earnings within 5 business days.

Writ of Possession (Specific Personal Property)

Use these when your judgment awards you a specific item — not money — and the debtor won't return it:

Exemption Challenge Forms

When the debtor files a Claim of Exemption asserting that the seized property or funds are legally protected:

Satisfaction of Judgment

Filed after the judgment is fully paid — principal, interest, and costs:

Filing the satisfaction is not optional. Idaho law requires creditors to file it after receiving full payment, and the debtor can ask the court to enter satisfaction through SC 10-2 if you don't.

Debtor Examination Forms

These aren't in the numbered SC 9 series but are available on the same CAO portal:

• Motion and Affidavit for Examination of Judgment Debtor — your request to compel the debtor to disclose assets under oath
• Order for Examination of Judgment Debtor — the court's order compelling appearance

Which Forms You Need First

Most creditors follow this sequence:

1. Debtor examination forms (if you don't already know where the debtor works or banks)
2. Writ of Continuing Garnishment (SC 9-2 + SC 9-7) for wage garnishment, or Writ of Execution (SC 9-1 + SC 9-6) for bank levies
3. Motion Contesting Claim of Exemption (SC 9-4) if the debtor challenges your garnishment
4. Satisfaction of Judgment (SC 10-1) when the debt is fully paid

The forms themselves are straightforward — the hard part is assembling complete sheriff packets, writing proper service instructions, and calculating the exact enforcement balance including post-judgment interest. The Idaho judgment collection guide walks through every form with fill-in guidance and pairs each one with the sheriff instruction template the court doesn't provide.
