Liens are given priority in the order that they are filed. Liens for property taxes, however, will be given priority in the case of a foreclosure sale. But after any back taxes are paid, then the lien filed in first in chronological order will be given the highest priority.

A first lien holder is usually the lender or mortgage holder. Mechanics or Construction Liens do not supercede any lien placed before them or mortgage recorded after the lien is filed. In Minnesota mechanics liens are only enforceable for one year after the last day of service. Any lien holder, regardless of where they are in priority, can file to enforce their lien at anytime during that one year period.
