on the standard UCC 1 form it has a box for non ucc filing. What is considered a non ucc filing
On the standard UCC-1 form, the "non-UCC filing" box is typically used to indicate circumstances in which the filing does not pertain to a Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) transaction. While specific definitions may vary by jurisdiction, generally, non-UCC filings can include:
1. **Real Property Liens**: Filings related to mortgages or liens on real property, which are governed by state real property laws instead of the UCC.
2. **Judgment Liens**: Filings that relate to a court judgment against a debtor.
3. **Mechanics Liens**: Liens filed by contractors or subcontractors for unpaid labor or materials supplied for real property improvements.
4. **Certain Security Interests**: Some interests that may not fall under the UCC, such as certain leases, conditional sales, or licenses.
5. **Federal Tax Liens**: Liens filed by the Internal Revenue Service for unpaid federal taxes.
6. **Other Statutory Liens**: Any other filings that are statutorily required to be filed in a specific manner outside of the UCC framework.
When completing the UCC-1 form, specifying a non-UCC filing helps clarify the nature of the filing and ensures it is properly categorized and indexed by the filing office. It is essential to check with the specific jurisdiction's guidelines and legal definitions, as they can vary.
