If any person or entity in this state, after their personal property, except livestock, is assessed and before the tax, interest and costs thereon is paid, shall sell the same, and not retain sufficient money to pay all taxes, interest and costs thereon, the taxes, interest and costs shall be a lien thereon, or if such property is about to be sold at auction, or about to be sold at cost, then in either such event all taxes, interest and costs thereon shall at once become due and payable, and the county treasurer shall at once issue a tax warrant for the collection thereof, and the sheriff shall forthwith collect it as in other cases; provided, the priority of the tax lien shall be as set forth in Sections 3102 and 3103 of this title. The person or entity owing such tax, interest and costs shall be civilly liable to any purchaser of such property for any tax, interest and costs owing thereon, but the property so purchased shall be liable in the hands of the purchaser for such tax, interest and costs. If the property is sold in the ordinary course of retail trade, it shall not be so liable in the hands of the purchaser.
