If a declaration of opposition is received and the lienholder does not file within 60 days, what happens?

When a declaration of opposition is filed, there’s a limited 60‑day window for the lienholder to submit a formal challenge. If that filing does not occur within 60 days, there is no active opposition to continue with the sale, so the lien sale shall not be held. This deadline keeps the process timely and prevents moving forward without a timely challenge, which would require a formal review. The other options don’t fit: without a timely opposition there’s no sale to proceed with or to generate proceeds, and extensions aren’t automatic based on a missed deadline.
