2. Is a first and prior lien, equal to the lien for taxes imposed by the state, a local government, or a junior taxing district against the eligible property on which the C-PACER lien is imposed, from the date on which the notice of the C-PACER lien is recorded until the C-PACER lien, interest, penalties, fees and charges accrued or accruing are paid in full.
C. The C-PACER lien runs with the land, and that portion of the C-PACER lien that has not yet become due is not accelerated or eliminated by enforcement of the C-PACER lien by tax sale or any lien for taxes imposed by the state, a local government, or junior taxing district against the real property on which the C-PACER lien is imposed.
D. After the C-PACER lien is recorded as provided for in this chapter, the assessment, C-PACER financing and the C-PACER lien may not be contested on the basis that the improvement is not a qualified improvement or that the project is not a qualified project.
