Priority of certain liens arising by operation of law.
F.S. 679.333
in effect(1)
In this section, the term “possessory lien” means an interest, other than a security interest or an agricultural lien:
(a)
Which secures payment or performance of an obligation for services or materials furnished with respect to goods by a person in the ordinary course of the person’s business;
(b)
Which is created by statute or rule of law in favor of the person; and
(c)
The effectiveness of which depends on the person’s possession of the goods.
(2)
A possessory lien on goods has priority over a security interest in the goods unless the lien is created by a statute that expressly provides otherwise.
