Equitable Life Assurance Soc'y v. Ballentine Bros., Inc. (In re Ballentine Bros., Inc.), Ch. 11, BK83-182, A86-307
Real property taxes assessed and levied pre-petition have first priority over all other claimants. Post-petition real estate tax assessments, levies, and liens are stayed under § 362(a), so the counties cannot sell tax certificates for those years.
