554.9310  Priority of certain liens arising by operation of law.

When a person in the ordinary course of the person's business furnishes services or materials with respect to goods subject to a security interest, a lien upon goods in the possession of such person given by statute or rule of law for such materials or services takes priority over a perfected security interest unless the lien is statutory and the statute expressly provides otherwise.

A perfected security interest in collateral takes priority over any lien that is given equal precedence with ordinary taxes under chapter 260E or 260F, or its successor provisions, except for a lien under chapter 260E or 260F upon the collateral described in a financing statement or a job training agreement satisfying the requirements for a financing statement under section 554.9402, subsection 1, which is perfected by filing the financing statement or the job training agreement with the secretary of state prior to the perfection of a conflicting security interest, and a subordinate lien under chapter 260E or 260F may be divested or discharged by judicial sale, as provided in Part 5 of this Article 9 or by other available legal remedy notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in chapter 260E or 260F, or its successor provisions. Nothing in this section shall abrogate the collection of, or any lien for, unpaid property taxes which have attached to real estate pursuant to chapter 445, including taxes levied against tangible property that is assessed and taxed as real property pursuant to chapter 427A, or the collection of, or any lien for, unpaid taxes for which notice of lien has been properly recorded or filed pursuant to section 422.26.
