     299F.15 Written objection filed by owner. 

    The owner of any building or structure so condemned, or any 
 occupying tenant upon whom the notice and order are served, 
 within 20 days from the date of the service, as herein provided, 
 may file with the court administrator of the district court and 
 serve upon the state fire marshal, either personally or by 
 certified mail, written objections to the order in the form of 
 an answer denying the existence of any of the facts therein 
 recited which the owner desires to controvert. If no answer is 
 so filed and served, the owner and all other persons in interest 
 shall be deemed to be in default and thereupon the court shall 
 affirm the order of condemnation and direct the state fire 
 marshal to proceed with the enforcement thereof; but, if an 
 answer be filed and served, as herein provided, the court shall 
 hear and determine the issues so raised and make its order as 
 provided for by section 299F.16.
