[WSBARP] Code Enforcement liens

[scott at scottgthomaslaw.com]

Start with RCW 35A.60.010.  That will direct you to RCW 35.80.030 (1)(h), which provides in pertinent part that certain code enforcement liens shall be of equal rank with state and county taxes.  And, tax liens have priority over just about every other interest in the property.

Subject: [WSBARP] Code Enforcement liens

 

   Cl is concerned that a code enforcement lien could get ahead of his Deed of Trust/note.  I don't find any super-liens that would do that, but then it's hard to prove a negative....  Anyone know why I could not assure him?
