S.C. Code Ann. § 11-37-120: Validity of lien of pledge; recording or filing not required.

Any pledge made by the authority is valid and binding from the time the pledge is made. The revenue, money, or property pledged and thereafter received by the authority is immediately subject to the lien of the pledge without any physical delivery or further act. The lien of any pledge is valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract, or otherwise against the authority, irrespective of whether the parties have notice of the pledge. No recording or filing of the resolution authorizing the issuance of bonds, the trust indenture securing bonds, or any other instrument including filings under the Uniform Commercial Code is necessary to create or perfect any pledge or security interest granted by the authority to secure any bonds, but the record of the proceedings relative to the issuance of any bonds must be filed as prescribed by Section 11-15-20.
