§ 1952. Enforcement by sale
When the debt secured thereby remains unpaid for three months after such lien attaches, the person having such lien, except as provided in section 1954 of this title, may sell such property at public auction in the town where such lien accrues. Notice of the time, place and purpose of such sale shall be posted in two or more public places in such town at least ten days prior thereto, and he may apply the proceeds of such sale to the satisfaction of the debt due him and the expenses of such sale. The surplus remaining shall be paid to the proper owner thereof within ten days thereafter, or deposited for his benefit in the treasury of the town where the sale occurs.
