§ 683.120. Application for renewal; effect

    (a) The judgment creditor may renew a judgment by filing an application for renewal of the judgment with the court in which the judgment was entered.

    (b) Except as otherwise provided in this article, the filing of the application renews the judgment in the amount determined under Section 683.150 and extends the period of enforceability of the judgment as renewed for a period of 10 years from the date the application is filed.

    (c) In the case of a money judgment payable in installments, for the purposes of enforcement and of any later renewal, the amount of the judgment as renewed shall be treated as a lump-sum money judgment entered on the date the application is filed.
