The fee simple of all lands, in a city of the first class or in a consolidated local
government, and the full term and renewal of every leasehold carrying with it
the value of the improvements thereon, shall be subject, from and after the
assessment date each year, to a lien for the city taxes to be assessed thereon
for the succeeding year. The lien shall be superior to homestead right and to all
encumbrances, whether made before or after that date, except state taxes, and
shall take precedence of dower, curtesy, remainders, reversions, and other
future estates.
From the beginning of any action to collect taxes against real property, a lien
for each tax bill assessed against the same owner or set of joint owners shall
also arise upon every tract of land or improvement still owned by him or them,
with a view to the sale of less than all the tracts for the entire tax bill, subject to
such marshaling of burdens as against third parties as the rules of equity
require. The court may allow a purchaser or encumbrancer to release any tract
from the tax lien thereon, by paying its share of the tax, interest, and costs.
The tax lien on real property provided for by this section shall attach though,
through error in the proceedings, the tax bill is unenforceable, in which case
the lien reaching back to the date named shall support the claim of the city or
consolidated local government for any taxes imposed afterward for the year in
question under any curative act of the General Assembly.
The city or a consolidated local government shall have a lien on personal
property as provided in the case of real property for its taxes.
