It only says they take priority amongst themselves based on when they are filed. But reading into this statute, it looks like the labor lien would take priority over the bank lien. This line - "a statutory lien of prior dignity to all other encumbrances, saving and excepting liens for labor and liens in favor of landlords" seems to say that the loan lien has priority over all liens except labor.

I'm not a lawyer, I'm a pre law student. And I'm not in Florida, so take that with a grain of salt.... But man, Florida's laws look like they were written 100 years ago and never updated.... They talk about timber getting and horses for crying out loud....
