C. In cases not governed by subsections D through H of this section, a security interest in fixtures is subordinate to a conflicting interest of an encumbrancer or owner of the related real property other than the debtor.
D. Except as otherwise provided in subsection H of this section, a perfected security interest in fixtures has priority over a conflicting interest of an encumbrancer or owner of the real property if the debtor has an interest of record in or is in possession of the real property and:

2. The interest of the encumbrancer or owner arises before the goods become fixtures; and
3. The security interest is perfected by a fixture filing before the goods become fixtures or within twenty days thereafter.
E. A perfected security interest in fixtures has priority over a conflicting interest of an encumbrancer or owner of the real property if:
1. The debtor has an interest of record in the real property or is in possession of the real property and the security interest:
(a) Is perfected by a fixture filing before the interest of the encumbrancer or owner is of record; and
(b) Has priority over any conflicting interest of a predecessor in title of the encumbrancer or owner;
2. Before the goods become fixtures, the security interest is perfected by any method permitted by this chapter and the fixtures are readily removable:
(a) Factory or office machines;
(b) Equipment that is not primarily used or leased for use in the operation of the real property; or
(c) Replacements of domestic appliances that are consumer goods;
3. The conflicting interest is a lien on the real property obtained by legal or equitable proceedings after the security interest was perfected by any method permitted by this chapter; or

1. The encumbrancer or owner has consented, in an authenticated record, to the security interest or disclaimed an interest in the goods as fixtures; or
2. The debtor has a right to remove the goods as against the encumbrancer or owner.

H. A mortgage is a construction mortgage to the extent that it secures an obligation incurred for the construction of an improvement on land, including the acquisition cost of the land, if a recorded record of the mortgage so indicates. Except as otherwise provided in subsections E and F of this section, a security interest in fixtures is subordinate to a construction mortgage if a record of the mortgage is recorded before the goods become fixtures and the goods become fixtures before the completion of the construction. A mortgage has this priority to the same extent as a construction mortgage to the extent that it is given to refinance a construction mortgage.
I. A perfected security interest in crops growing on real property has priority over a conflicting interest of an encumbrancer or owner of the real property if the debtor has an interest of record in or is in possession of the real property.
