Article 2 - General Provisions Governing Real Property Actions
231 - Sale; Notice Of; When and How Conducted.

(b) Where the property is situated wholly outside a city or an
incorporated village referred to in subparagraph (a) of this
subdivision, notice of such sale shall also be given by posting a copy
of the notice of sale at least twenty-eight days preceding the original
date fixed for the sale in three public places in the town in which the
property is located, and, if the sale is to be held in another town or
in a city, in three public places therein.
3. If the officer appointed to make such sale does not appear at the
time and place where such sale has been advertised to take place, the
attorney for the plaintiff may postpone or adjourn such sale not to
exceed four weeks, during which time such attorney may make application
to the court to have another person appointed to make such sale. Notice
of postponement of the sale shall be posted at least three days prior to
the postponed date in the same places as the original notice of sale
when posting of the notice of sale is required, and shall be published
once at least three days prior to the postponed date in the newspaper in
which the notice of sale was originally published.
4. The terms of the sale shall be made known at the sale, and if the
property or any part thereof is to be sold subject to the right of
dower, charge or lien, that fact shall be declared at the time of the
sale.
5. If the property consists of two or more distinct buildings, farms
or lots, they shall be sold separately, unless otherwise ordered by the
court; but where two or more buildings are situated in the same city
lot, they shall be sold together.

6. At any time within one year after the sale, but not thereafter, the
court, upon such terms as may be just, may set the sale aside for
failure to comply with the provisions of this section as to the notice,
time or manner of such sale if a substantial right of a party was
prejudiced by the defect.
