Source: https://www.buttecounty.net/DocumentCenter/View/11479/Exemption-List-EJ155

EJ-155 EXEMPTIONS FROM THE ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS The following is a list of assets that may be exempt from levy in enforcing a judgment.

Exemptions are found in the United States Code (USC) and in the California codes, primarily the Code of Civil Procedure (CCP).

Because of periodic changes in the law, the list may not include all exemptions that apply in your case. The exemptions may not apply in full or under all circumstances. Some are not available after a certain period of time. You or your attorney should read the statutes. If you believe the assets that are being levied on are exempt, file the claim of exemption form that you received with the Notice of Levy packet. AMOUNT OF EXEMPTIONS: For the exemption amount, please refer to the code section listed below for each type of property. The current amounts of certain exemptions are listed in Current Dollar Amounts of Exemptions From Enforcement of Judgments (form EJ-156). The amounts of some of the exemptions are amended every three years and become effective immediately on April 1 under the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure section 703.150.
