Section 2725
Disposition versions
2725. The legal hypothecs of the State, including those for sums due under fiscal laws, and the hypothecs of legal persons established in the public interest may charge movable or immovable property.
Such hypothecs take effect only from their registration in the appropriate register. Application for registration is made by filing a notice indicating the legislation granting the hypothec, the property of the debtor on which the creditor intends to enforce it, and stating the cause and the amount of the claim. The notice shall be served on the debtor.
Registration by the State of a legal movable hypothec for sums due under fiscal laws does not prevent it from enforcing its prior claim.
