Texas Tax Deed Sales

Texas property tax sales could be classified as a hybrid between tax deeds and tax lien certificates. Texas is classified as a tax deed state, meaning that if property owners fail to pay their taxes their properties are lost through the legal process of tax foreclosure.

Any legal taxing jurisdiction can foreclose on property. Consequently, school districts, counties or towns can force the process of tax foreclosure.

Tax sales are handled by law firms for each county. Sheriffs or constables are responsible for actually conducting the auctions.

After sales are conducted, owners still have six months to redeem their properties (two years for homestead or agriculture property).  In the case of redemption, the owner must satisfy the debt by paying the taxes and cost due plus interest. An owner must pay a purchaser the purchase price plus 25 percent interest on the six months. For homestead or agriculture property, the interest rate is 25 percent the first year and 50 percent the second year.

Tax Lien Certificates Book
Already finished reading your portion and really enjoyed it.  I'm going to be making some foreclosure connections this week as well as checking on the other deed sales in nearby counties.  I'm starting to believe this is something that can really be done and not just something that people buy books and classes about.
