Personal Property Taxes Lien.

Deputy County Treasurer X. S. Jack
son, in the collection of delinquent per.
sonal property taxes, has met numerous
cases in which the property assessed had
changed owners rand found the new own
crs indisposed to pay the taxes. TO OBJ
tain the proper construction Of the law
Mr.. jackson asked the opinion Of the
assistant attorney general.
Below will be found the opinion of Mr..
Vance, holding that the taxes assessed
constitute lien OH the specific property,
where the original owner fails to pay:
Mr.. r. s. JACKSON, Deputy Treasurer
Chehalis Co., Aberdeen, Washington.
Dear Sir:-1 have your favor of the eth
inst, asking as to when a lien for taxes
attached to personal property.
The language of section So Of the Rev
enue Act as to the lien for personal
taxes is as follows:
"The taxes assessed upon personal
property shall be a lien upon all of the
real and personal property of the person
assessed, and also upon the property so
assessed if the possession thereof shall
have been transferred, from and after
the first Monday of February next sue
ceeding the date of the levy of such
taxes"
While the language is somewhat in
vOlved take it to mean this: that per-
sonal property which has been sold be-
tween the time of the assessment and
the time Of the maturity OF taxes, to-wit,
the first Monday in February following,
may be the subject of lien and attach
ment to satisfy the pro rata of the per-
sonal tax.
The statute in general terms seems to
create a paramount lien against all the
real and personal property Of the tax
debtor, which lien attaches normally
after the first Monday in February. In
addition to this, specific lien is given
against any specific article of personal
property in case the said article may be
sold or the possession transferred before
that date. I, therefore, conclude, to
illustrate in concrete form, that if
horse, the property OF an individual,
were assessed at a certain figure and prior
to the first Monday Of February following
the assessment the horse should be sold
and its possession transferred to another,
not only is the tax lien against all the
real and personal property of the original
owner of the horse for the collection of
the tax but he may follow the horse sold
and attach it if it be in the county.
am aware that this is rather revolu-
tionary in tax proceedings but l can see
no other reasonable construction to put
upon the section of the revenue law
under discussion.
Very Respectfully Yours,
THos. NJ. VANCE,
Asst. Attorney General.
