When a claim secured by a mortgage, or by a pledge or statutory lien that can be registered, has been seized, the district director may commission the relevant authority to register the seizure of the claim. In this case, the district director who has made the commission must notify the right holders (excluding the third-party debtor) of the property on which the mortgage or pledge is established or the property over which the statutory lien exists that the seizure has been made.

district director
税務署長
The head of a tax office (税務署), the local office of the National Tax Agency that deals with taxpayers in its district (Act for Establishment of the Ministry of Finance, Article 24). It is the office a person usually deals with: an income tax return is filed with a district director (Income Tax Act, Article 120, paragraph (1)), and reassessments, determinations and the collection of national tax are done by the district director for the taxpayer's current place for tax payment (Act on General Rules for National Taxes, Articles 30 and 43). A person who objects to what a district director has decided can ask that director to look at it again (再調査の請求) or go straight to the National Tax Tribunal (Article 75, paragraph (1), item (i)) — unless the notice of the decision says officials of a Regional Taxation Bureau or of the National Tax Agency investigated, in which case it counts as the regional commissioner's decision, with the same choice, or as the Commissioner of the National Tax Agency's, which can only be challenged by a request for review to the Commissioner (Article 75, paragraph (2)).

registration
登記
Entry in a public register kept by a registry office (登記所) — a Legal Affairs Bureau or one of its branch offices — so that the matter is made public (Real Property Registration Act, Articles 1 and 6, paragraph (1)). Rights in land and buildings, such as ownership, a superficies (地上権), a statutory lien (先取特権), a mortgage and a right of lease (賃借権), can be registered under that Act (Article 3), and matters the Commercial Code, the Companies Act and other Acts require to be registered are registered under the Commercial Registration Act (Article 1). Registration also lets a right be asserted against third parties: acquiring, losing or changing a right in rem (物権) in land or a building, such as ownership, cannot be asserted against third parties until it is registered (Civil Code, Article 177), and a matter the Companies Act requires to be registered cannot be asserted against a third party who does not know of it until it has been registered, nor, even after that, against one who had a justifiable reason for not knowing of the registration (Companies Act, Article 908, paragraph (1)).

statutory lien
先取特権
A right the law itself gives certain creditors to be paid out of the debtor's property ahead of other creditors (Civil Code, Article 303). Some reach all of the debtor's property, such as a claim arising from employment (Article 306, item (ii)); others reach particular property only, such as a landlord's claim for rent and other debts under a lease of land or a building, which reaches, for land, the movables furnished to it or to a building used with it, the movables used on it and the crops or other fruits of it the tenant holds, and for a building, the movables the tenant has furnished it with (Articles 311 to 313). The Act on Land and Building Leases gives a landowner one over the tenant's building on the land for the last two years' rent that has fallen due (Article 12, paragraph (1)), which keeps its effect by the registration of the superficies or the land lease (Article 12, paragraph (2)).
