Fees:
A lien related to transmitting electric or electronic communications; operating a railroad, subway, street railway or trolley bus; transmitting goods by pipeline or sewer; and transmitting or producing electricity, steam, gas, or water.
Fees:
A lien against farm products. A “farm product” is an agricultural commodity such as wheat, corn, soybeans, or a species of livestock such as cattle, hogs, sheep, horses, or poultry used or produced in farming operations, or a product of such crop or livestock in its unmanufactured state (such as ginned cotton, wool-clip, maple syrup, milk, and eggs), that is in the possession of a person engaged in farming operations. The CNS Initial Financing Statement is different from, and in addition to the standard UCC financing statement, which must also be filed to perfect the secured party’s security interest against other creditors.
The Central Notification System is a method for buyers of farm products to receive information about outstanding liens against farm products that they buy. Lien holders submit information to the Secretary of State through the NDCIS. Farm product buyers have the option to purchase monthly lists of farm products that have liens against them.
