437A.22 - STATUTES APPLICABLE.

        437A.22  STATUTES APPLICABLE.         1.  Sections 437A.9, 437A.10, 437A.12, 437A.13, and 437A.14,      subsection 1, are applicable to electric companies, natural gas      companies, electric cooperatives, municipal utilities, and persons      whose property is subject to the statewide property tax.  However, a      required credit or refund of overpaid statewide property tax pursuant      to section 437A.14, subsection 1, as it applies to this subchapter,      shall be made by the director and not by city chief financial      officers or county treasurers.         2. a.  Section 422.26 applies with respect to the statewide      property tax and penalties imposed by this chapter, except that, as      applied to any tax imposed by this chapter, the lien provided shall      be prior to and superior over all subsequent liens upon any personal      property within this state or right to such personal property      belonging to the taxpayer, without the necessity of recording the      lien as provided in section 422.26.  The requirement for recording,      as applied to the statewide property tax imposed by this chapter,      shall apply only to a lien upon real property.  In order to preserve      such lien against subsequent mortgagees, purchasers, or judgment      creditors, for value and without notice of the lien, on any real      property situated in a county, the director shall file with the      recorder of the county in which the real property is located a notice      of the lien.         b.  The county recorder of each county shall index each lien      showing the applicable entries specified in sections 558.49 and      558.52 and showing, under the names of taxpayers arranged      alphabetically, all of the following:         (1)  The name of the taxpayer.         (2)  The name "State of Iowa" as claimant.         (3)  Time the notice of lien was filed for recording.         (4)  Date of notice.         (5)  Amount of lien then due.         (6)  Date of assessment.         (7)  Date when the lien is satisfied.         c.  The recorder shall endorse on each notice of lien the day,      hour, and minute when filed for recording and the document      reference,{ shall preserve such notice, and shall promptly record the      lien in the manner provided for recording real estate mortgages.  The      lien is effective from the time of the indexing of the lien.         d.  The director, from moneys appropriated to the department      of revenue for this purpose, shall pay recording fees as provided in      section 331.604 for the recording of the lien, or for its      satisfaction.         e.  Upon the payment of the replacement tax as to which the      director has filed notice with a county recorder, the director shall      promptly file with the recorder a satisfaction of the replacement      tax.  The recorder shall enter the satisfaction on the notice on file      in the recorder's office and indicate that fact on the index.
