Utah Post-Judgment Forms: Every Form You Need to Collect a Small Claims Judgment

You won your small claims case, the 28-day appeal window has passed, and no stay of enforcement is in effect. Now you need to actually collect. The Utah State Courts publish post-judgment forms, but they are scattered across multiple pages on utcourts.gov with no single checklist telling you which forms go together or in what order.

Here is the complete form inventory, organized by enforcement action.

Garnishment Forms (URCP 64D)

Garnishment — whether targeting wages or a bank account — uses the largest set of forms. You will need different combinations depending on whether you are garnishing earnings or property.

Employment verification (before filing the writ):

• Form 1501DC — Request for Verification of Employment
• Form 1502DC — Response to Request for Verification of Employment

Garnishment application and writ:

• Form 1503DC — Application for Writ of Garnishment (files with the court, $75 filing fee)
• Form 1504DC — Writ of Garnishment and Instructions (for bank/property garnishments)
• Form 1505DC — Writ of Continuing Garnishment and Instructions (for wage garnishments)

Service packet forms (go to the garnishee and debtor):

• Form 1506DC — Garnishee's Answers to Interrogatories — Property Other Than Earnings
• Form 1507DC — Garnishee's Answers to Interrogatories — Earnings
• Form 1508DC — Notice of Garnishment and Exemptions
• Form 1509DC — Reply and Request for Hearing

The garnishee packet requires two copies of the writ, the correct interrogatory form (1506DC for banks, 1507DC for employers), the notice of exemptions, and two copies of the reply form. Miss any piece and the garnishee may reject the service. Our detailed walkthrough of assembling the garnishment packet covers the exact assembly order.

Writ of Execution Forms (URCP 64E)

When the debtor owns tangible property — vehicles, equipment, inventory — you seize it through a writ of execution served by the sheriff or constable.

• Form 1401DC — Application for Writ of Execution ($75 filing fee)
• Form 1402DC — Writ of Execution
• Form 1403DC — Notice of Execution and Exemptions
• Form 1404DC — Reply and Request for Hearing

The application identifies the specific property you want seized and its location. The court clerk signs the writ, and you deliver it to the sheriff's civil process division. Read more about the writ of execution process.

Judgment Lien Forms

Recording a lien against the debtor's real property requires two documents filed with the county recorder — not the court.

• Form 1003DC — Abstract of Judgment (issued by the court clerk)
• Form 1004DC — Judgment Information Statement

You file both with the county recorder in any county where the debtor owns real property. Recording fees vary by county — $40 in Salt Lake County, $45 in Kane and Summit counties under updated fee schedules. The lien attaches to the property and must be satisfied before the debtor can sell or refinance. Full details in our judgment lien guide.

Supplemental Proceedings / Debtor Examination Forms

When you do not know what the debtor owns or where they work, supplemental proceedings compel them to disclose their assets under oath.

• Form 1301DC — Ex Parte Motion for Hearing to Identify Debtor's Property
• Form 1302DC — Order for Debtor to Attend Hearing to Identify Judgment Debtor's Property
• Form 1303DC — Answers to Questions About Debtor's Property (written interrogatories the debtor can complete instead of appearing)

Self-represented parties in Third District cases use that district's special supplemental forms. If the debtor does not appear, follow-up forms include Form 1304DC (Motion for Finding of Contempt or Bench Warrant), Form 1306DC (Order to Appear and Explain), and Form 1305DC (Bench Warrant), as applicable.

The motion and order must be personally served on the debtor at least 28 days before the hearing. If the debtor serves answers at least 3 days before the hearing and answers your questions to your satisfaction, cancel the court date. See our supplemental proceedings guide for the full process, including what happens when the debtor does not show up.

Judgment Renewal Forms

Utah judgments are enforceable for 8 years under Utah Code § 78B-2-311. A District Court judgment can be renewed by motion before it expires; a Justice Court small claims judgment cannot be renewed by motion.

• Form 1101DC — Motion and Affidavit to Renew Judgment (for a District Court judgment)

To renew a Justice Court small claims judgment, file a new small claims case or a regular civil case claiming nonpayment; a new filing fee and personal service are required. For a District Court renewal motion, the filing fee is half the original complaint filing fee — $52.50 for judgments of $2,000 or less, $107.50 for $2,001–$9,999, and $187.50 for $10,000–$20,000. Our renewal guide covers the timelines and procedures.

Satisfaction of Judgment

Once the debtor pays in full, you are required to file a satisfaction to clear the court record and release any liens.

• Form 1201DC — Acknowledgement of Satisfaction of Judgment (file with the court under URSCP Rule 11 and URCP 58B)

If you recorded a judgment lien, obtain Form 1204DC — Certificate of Satisfaction of Judgment after the satisfaction is entered, then record it with the county recorder. Failing to file satisfaction after payment exposes you to a debtor motion compelling you to do so. Details in our satisfaction of judgment guide.

Where to Find and File These Forms

All Utah Judicial Council forms are available at utcourts.gov under the Self-Help section. The Online Court Assistance Program (OCAP) can generate some post-judgment forms through a guided interview, and MyCase lets you track filings and submit filings or pay fees in eligible case categories.

Forms can be filed in person at the court clerk's window or through the court's e-filing system. Writs and garnishment applications go to the court that entered your judgment. Abstracts and judgment information statements go to the county recorder.

Putting the Forms Together

Having the right forms is step one. Knowing the sequence — which forms go where, in what order, with what fees — is where most self-represented creditors get stuck. The complete Utah judgment collection guide walks through every enforcement tool with the exact forms, filing sequence, fees, and deadlines in a single document.
