Section 57A-9-502 - Requirements for financing statement--Record of mortgage asfinancing statement.
57A-9-502. Requirements for financing statement--Record of mortgage as financing statement. (a) Subject to subsection (b), a financing statement is sufficient only if it:
(1) Provides the name of the debtor and either the social security number or the internal revenue service taxpayer identification number of the debtor;
(2) Provides the name of the secured party or a representative of the secured party; and
(3) Indicates the collateral covered by the financing statement.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in § 57A-9-501(b), to be sufficient, a financing statement that covers as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, or which is filed as a fixture filing and covers goods that are or are to become fixtures, must satisfy subsection (a) and also:
(1) Indicate that it covers this type of collateral;
(2) Indicate that it is to be filed for record in the real property records;
(3) Provide a description of the real property to which the collateral is related sufficient to give constructive notice of a mortgage under the law of this State if the description were contained in a record of the mortgage of the real property. A financing statement covering timber to be cut or covering minerals or the like (including oil and gas) or accounts subject to § 57A-9-301, or a financing statement filed as a fixture filing where the debtor is not a transmitting utility, must show that it covers this type of collateral, must recite that it is to be filed for record in the real estate records, and the financing statement must contain a description of the real estate sufficient if it were contained in a mortgage of the real estate to give constructive notice of the mortgage under the law of this state. If the debtor does not have an interest of record in the real estate, the financing statement must show the name of a record owner. No description of the real estate or the name of the record owner thereof is required for a fixture filing where the debtor is a transmitting utility; and
(4) If the debtor does not have an interest of record in the real property, provide the name of a record owner.
(c) A record of a mortgage is effective, from the date of recording, as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or as a financing statement covering as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut only if:
(1) The record indicates the goods or accounts that it covers;
(2) The goods are or are to become fixtures related to the real property described in the record or the collateral is related to the real property described in the record and is as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut;
(3) The record satisfies the requirements for a financing statement in this section other than an indication that it is to be filed in the real property records; and
(4) The record is recorded.
(d) A financing statement may be filed before a security agreement is made or a security interest otherwise attaches.
