After filing a verified statement of lien claim, how long does the claimant have to foreclose on the lien?

The correct timeframe for foreclosing on a lien after filing a verified statement of lien claim is within six months. This period is crucial for protecting the rights of both the lien claimant and the property owner. If the claimant does not initiate foreclosure proceedings within this timeframe, they typically lose their right to enforce the lien through foreclosure. This six-month period helps ensure timely resolution of financial disputes and allows property owners to have clarity regarding their obligations and the status of any claims against their property.

The other options provide longer periods that might imply excessive delays in the enforcement of lien claims, which could lead to uncertainties in property ownership and financing. Therefore, the six-month limit is designed to maintain efficient legal processes and protect all parties involved.
