Universal Citation: GA Code § 44-14-407 (2021)
  1. In addition to the method provided in Code Section 44-14-406, every livery stable keeper may assert the lien on stock placed in his care for keeping by writing a statement of the amount due him for the care of the stock and a description of the stock on which the lien is claimed, by making affidavit thereto, and by recording the writing and affidavit in the office of the clerk of the superior court of the county where the service was rendered.
  2. When the lien provided for in subsection (a) of this Code section is so recorded, it shall have the same dignity and effect as is given by law to the lien of livery stable keepers where they retain possession of the stock placed in their keeping. The lien shall be recorded while the property is in the possession of the livery stable keeper, as mortgages on personalty are required to be recorded; and such liens may be foreclosed as mortgages on personalty are foreclosed.
