If you win your Small Claims Court action and obtain a judgment against someone, you will have to register it with the county clerk before you can take certain steps to enforce its collection. The following is a reference list of Counties in New York State, with a link to each county’s clerk’s office.
County Clerks can:
• Search for property that the judgment debtor owns in that county, and
• Tell you the exact, legal name of a business in that county. (If you do not have the exact, legal name it may be harder to collect your judgment.)
