Summary

Upon cross motions for summary judgment, this Court is called upon to decide two questions of law, namely whether the debtor and FINOVA Capital Corporation ("FINOVA") may avoid a prepetition tax lien of the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore (the "City") for unpaid personal property taxes, and whether the said municipal tax lien primed an earlier deed of trust lien of FINOVA upon proceeds of the debtor's real property that was sold free and clear of liens. A tax lien of the Internal Revenue Service is not the subject of this opinion. There are no material facts in dispute because the parties, including the IRS, joined in a stipulation of material facts. For the reasons stated, the plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment will be granted.
