Swiss Civil Code

¹ Where can­ton­al law grants the cred­it­or the right to a li­en in re­spect of debts that are dir­ectly re­lated to the ser­vi­ent prop­erty, the li­en is cre­ated when it is re­cor­ded in the land re­gister.

² Where stat­utory li­ens amount­ing to over 1000 francs are cre­ated un­der can­ton­al law without be­ing re­cor­ded in the land re­gister and if they are not re­cor­ded in the land re­gister with­in four months of the un­der­ly­ing debt be­com­ing due, or at the latest with­in two years of the debt arising, on ex­piry of the peri­od al­lowed for re­gis­tra­tion they may no longer be cited in op­pos­i­tion to third parties who rely on the land re­gister in good faith.

³ More re­strict­ive reg­u­la­tions un­der can­ton­al law are re­served.
