There are two types of garnishment proceedings:

Arizona voters passed Proposition 207 in November, 2020. Among its provisions is the ability to petition a court at no cost to expunge certain marijuana-related records. Please ensure you have read the information on our Prop 207 web page before using this form to begin the process.
There is a court cost for filing many, but not all, of the forms above.
We know there are hardships which limit any individual's source of funds. There are times when court filing fees may be deferred or waived. A deferral puts off the costs to be paid for filing until after the case is resolved. A waiver removes the costs involved.
Persons who are unable to pay court filing fees may apply for a waiver or deferral. Court policies for fee deferral and waiver applications are listed in section 5-206 of the Arizona Code of Judicial Administration.
IMPORTANT: You must speak with a court clerk before submitting your application.
We know not everyone can pay off a court balance in full at one time.
We offer time payment plans that let you pay what you can afford on a schedule that works for you.
Please visit our "I Want To --> Make a Payment" page to get the payment plan application and related information.
