Utah Code Ann. 78B-6-1801
A Utah money judgment lasts for 8 years and then expires. You can renew a Utah money judgment for another 8 years, if the judgment creditor files a motion to renew within the original 8 year statute of limitations.
The Utah Renewal of Judgment Act is found at Utah Code Ann. 78B-6-1801. The mechanism to renew a judgment is the following:
- File a motion within the original action.
- File a motion within the original 8 year statute limitation of actions.
- The motion includes an affidavit that contains an accounting of the original judgment and all post-judgment payments, credits, and other adjustments which are provided for by law or are contained within the original judgment.
- The court will make a determination of the accuracy of the credit and that the judgment debtor has been placed on notice as accurately as possible.
- The time for answering the motion has expired.
