    § 11-410 Preference over other actions. a. Any action brought pursuant
  to  this  chapter  shall  be  given preference over all other causes and
  actions.
    b. Actions brought pursuant to this chapter shall take precedence over
  any proceeding brought to foreclose a mortgage or other  lien  involving
  the same property. A parcel included in a list of delinquent taxes which
  is sold in a mortgage foreclosure sale held after said list is filed may
  not  be  sold subject to taxes even if judgment has not yet been entered
  in the tax  foreclosure  action.  All  unpaid  taxes  and  interest  and
  penalties  thereon  must  be  paid,  in full or by installment agreement
  pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, out of the proceeds of  such
  sale  regardless  of  whether  the  mortgage foreclosure lis pendens was
  filed before  or  after  the  filing  of  the  tax  foreclosure  action,
  regardless  of  whether any party to the mortgage foreclosure proceeding
  has interposed an answer in the tax foreclosure action and regardless of
  any terms to the contrary in the judgment in  the  mortgage  foreclosure
  proceeding.
