California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 3 — Obligations, Part 4 — Obligations Arising from Particular Transactions, Title 14 — Lien, Chapter 1 — Liens in General, Article 4 — Priority of Liens, Section 2897

Notes

Sets priority among different liens on the same property, when other things are equal, according to the time each lien was created. Earlier-created liens therefore take priority over later-created liens under this rule, except in cases involving bottomry and respondentia, which are expressly excluded from the time-of-creation priority rule.
