An execution shall be returned at a date designated by the applicant, which shall not be less than thirty days nor more than ninety days after it is issued.
When an execution is levied upon property and a sale is not made before the return date of the execution, the execution and any lien created thereby shall remain in force for one hundred eighty days after the issuance of the execution or until the property is sold, whichever period is shorter.
