CURRENT DOLLAR AMOUNTS UNDER CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 699.730(b)

The following lists the dollar amounts set forth in section 699.730(b)(7) of the Code of Civil Procedure, adjusted pursuant to section 703.150.

The principal place of residence of a judgment debtor is not subject to sale under execution of a judgment lien based on a consumer debt unless the debt was secured by the property at the time it was incurred. (See Code Civ. Proc., § 699.730(a).) However, the provisions in section 699.730(a) do not apply to certain types of unpaid debts, including debts other than student loan debt, owed to a financial institution at the time of the execution of a judgment lien, if certain requirements based on dollar amounts are met. (See Code Civ. Proc. § 699.730(b)(7).)

The amounts stated here are effective April 1, 2025. Unless otherwise provided by statute after that date, they will be adjusted at each three-year interval, ending on March 31. The amount of the adjustment to the prior amounts is based on the change in the annual California Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the most recent three-year period ending on the preceding December 31, with each adjusted amount rounded to the nearest $25. (See Code Civ. Proc., § 703.150(e).)

Section 699.730(b)(7)(A)(i) The amount of the original judgment on which the lien is based, when entered,
was greater than $94,125.

Section 699.730(b)(7)(A)(ii) The amount owed on the outstanding judgment at the time of the execution on
the judgment lien is greater than $94,125.
