437B.18 Statutes applicable.
1. Sections 437B.5, 437B.6, 437B.8, and 437B.9, and section 437B.10, subsection 1, are applicable to water utilities whose property is subject to the statewide property tax.
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 number, 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 statewide property 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 statewide property tax. The recorder shall enter the satisfaction on the notice on file in the recorder’s office and indicate that fact on the index.
