Statutory liens for agricultural labor exist against fruits derived from labor, in connection with the most recent year's wages of the person who engages in that labor.

Statutory liens for industrial labor exist against manufactured things derived from labor, in connection with the most recent three months' wages of the person who engages in that labor.

A person that has a claim arising from the causes stated below has a statutory lien over specific immovables of the obligor:

Statutory liens for the preservation of immovables exist against the relevant immovables, in connection with the expenses required for the preservation of the immovables or the expenses required for the preservation, approval or enforcement of rights regarding the immovables.

①Statutory lien for construction work for immovables exists, with respect to immovables, in connection with the expenses of construction work performed by a person that designs, constructs or supervises construction regarding the immovables of the obligor.

②The statutory liens referred to in the preceding paragraph exist with respect to the relevant increased value alone, but only if there is a current increase in the value of the immovables resulting from the construction work.

Statutory liens for sales of immovables exist, with respect to immovables, in connection with the price of the immovables and interest on the same.

①If there are competing general statutory liens, the order of priority follows the order stated in each item of Article 306.

②If there is a conflict between a general statutory lien and a special statutory lien, the special statutory lien has priority over the general statutory lien; provided, however, that statutory liens on expenses for the common benefit have priority being effective against all obligees who benefit from the same.

①If there are competing special statutory liens against the same movables, the order of priority follows the order stated below. In this case, if there are two or more preservers with respect to the statutory liens for preservation of movables stated in item (ii), a new preserver has priority over previous preservers:

②In the cases referred to in the preceding paragraph, if a holder of a statutory lien ranked first knew at the time of acquiring the relevant claim of the existence of a holder of a statutory lien of the second or third rank, that holder may not exercise the relevant rights of priority against those persons. The same applies to the exercise against persons that have preserved things on behalf of the holder of a statutory lien of the first rank.

③Regarding fruits, the first rank belongs to persons who engage in agricultural labor, the second rank belongs to persons that supply seeds and seedlings or fertilizer, and the third rank belongs to lessors of land.

①If there is a conflict among special statutory liens against the same immovables, the order of priority follows the order stated in the items of Article 325.

②If the same immovables are subject to successive sales, the order of priority of the statutory liens for the sale of the immovables among sellers follows the chronological order of the sales.

If there are two or more holders of statutory liens with the same priority with respect to the same object, the holders of statutory liens are paid in proportion to the amounts of their claims.

Statutory liens may not be exercised against the movables that are the subject of the same after the obligors have delivered those movables to third party acquirers.

If there is a conflict between a statutory lien and a pledge on movables, the pledgee of those movables has the same rights as those of the holder of a statutory lien of the first rank under Article 330.

①Holders of general statutory liens may not be paid out of immovables unless they are first paid out of property other than immovables and a claim that is not satisfied remains.

②With respect to immovables, holders of general statutory liens must first be paid out of those that are not the subject of special security.

③If holders of general statutory liens fail to participate in distributions in accordance with the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, they may not exercise their statutory liens against registered third parties with respect to amounts that would have been paid to them if they had participated in the distribution.

④The provisions of the preceding three paragraphs do not apply if the proceeds of immovables are distributed before the proceeds of assets other than immovables, or if the proceeds of immovables that are the subject of a special security are distributed before the proceeds of other immovables.

General statutory liens may be duly asserted against obligees without special security, even if the liens are not registered with respect to the relevant immovables; provided, however, that this does not apply to registered third parties.

In order to preserve the effectiveness of statutory liens for preservation of immovables, registration must be carried out immediately after the completion of the act of preservation.

①In order to preserve the effectiveness of statutory liens for construction work for immovables, the budgeted expenses of the construction work must be registered before the commencement of the same. In this case, if the expenses of the construction work exceed the budgeted amount, a statutory lien does not exist with respect to the amount in excess of the same.

②The amount of increase in value of immovables that resulted from construction work must be evaluated by an appraiser appointed by the court at the time of the participation in the distribution.

Statutory liens registered in accordance with the provisions of the preceding two Articles may be exercised before mortgages.

In order to preserve the effectiveness of statutory liens for the sale of immovables, a statement to the effect that the price of the immovables or interest on the same has not been paid must be registered simultaneously with the execution of the sales contract.

Beyond what is provided for in this Section, the provisions regarding mortgages apply mutatis mutandis to the effects of statutory liens, provided that it is not inconsistent with the nature of the same.
