482.1. The claims of the municipality for taxes other than property taxes, of any nature whatsoever, are considered to be a prior claim on the immovables or movables by reason of which they are payable, of the same nature and with the same rank as the claims described in paragraph 5 of article 2651 of the Civil Code; they are secured by a legal hypothec on the immovables or on the movables, as the case may be. In addition to being a prior claim within the meaning of that paragraph, a property tax is secured by a legal hypothec on the immovable subject to the tax.
For the purposes of the first paragraph, any personal tax imposed by reason of an activity carried on in a place is deemed to be a tax payable by reason of the movable property of the debtor located in the place at any time throughout the period during which the tax remains payable.
