Common Deal Types in Bexar County
How Tax Delinquent Property Sales Work in Texas
Texas is a tax-deed state. When property taxes go unpaid, the taxing authority files suit, the court orders a sheriff sale, and the property is sold at public auction on the first Tuesday of the month at the county courthouse. The winning bidder receives a sheriff's deed (effectively a tax deed) at the sale. Unlike tax-certificate states, the buyer takes ownership immediately — subject only to the prior owner's statutory right of redemption. Most Texas counties also publish a separate "struck-off" list of properties that did not sell at auction; these can often be purchased over-the-counter at the original minimum bid.
Bidding & Auctions
Sales are conducted in person at the county courthouse steps. Bidders generally must register beforehand and present a current "Statement of No Delinquent Taxes" from the county tax assessor. The minimum bid covers back taxes, penalties, interest, attorney fees, and court costs. Payment is due immediately after the sale, typically by cashier's check or money order — no personal checks or financing. Some counties post properties online ahead of the sale; others post only at the courthouse 21 days prior.
Redemption & Penalties
The original owner has a statutory right to redeem the property by paying the buyer the bid amount plus a 25% penalty in the first year (50% if redeemed in year two on homestead or agricultural property). The redemption period is 180 days for non-homestead, non-agricultural property and 2 years for homestead, agricultural, or mineral property. If the owner does not redeem within the window, the buyer's title becomes absolute and they can take possession, sell, or hold the property.
See Texas Tax Code, Title 1, Subtitle E, Chapter 34.
Bexar County Tax Sale Process
Bexar County has a large tax sale market with strong Hispanic heritage creating heir property opportunities. The military presence (multiple bases) provides stable rental demand. San Antonio's affordability attracts both investors and end-users.
Redemption Period
2 years for homestead/ag, 180 days for others
Standard Texas redemption periods apply. Multi-generational Hispanic families often have complex heirship requiring careful title work.
Strike-Off Properties
Strike-off properties are managed by Bexar County and periodically auctioned. The county has a significant inventory due to complex family ownership situations.
Challenges to Expect
Every county has unique obstacles. Here's what experienced investors encounter in Bexar County:
- Complex heirship situations involving large extended families
- Some properties have been in same families for 100+ years
- Spanish language documents may appear in older title chains
- Lower property values mean smaller absolute returns per deal
Frequently Asked Questions
How does San Antonio compare to Houston for curative title investing?
San Antonio offers lower competition and more accessible entry points. Deals take longer due to complex family dynamics but offer better margins. Houston has higher volume but tighter spreads. Many investors prefer San Antonio for relationship-based deals.
Is Spanish language ability required in Bexar County?
Not required, but extremely helpful. Many heir property situations involve Spanish-speaking family members, and building trust is easier with cultural competency. You can partner with Spanish-speaking title professionals if needed.
What areas of San Antonio have the best opportunities?
The West Side (including Edgewood, Prospect Hill) and South Side have the highest concentration of heir property. Denver Heights and Highland Park are emerging areas. Military corridor properties near bases have strong rental demand.
When are Texas county tax sales held?
Texas tax foreclosure sales are held on the first Tuesday of each month at the county courthouse, between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. local time. If the first Tuesday falls on a holiday, the sale moves to the first Wednesday.
Do I get the property right away if I win the bid?
You receive the sheriff's deed at the sale, but the original owner retains a statutory right of redemption — 180 days for most property, or 2 years for homestead, agricultural, and mineral property. If they redeem, you receive your bid back plus a 25% penalty (50% in year two on homestead/ag).
What if I can't attend the auction in person?
You can send a representative or hire a buyer service. A few counties have begun experimenting with online sales, but the vast majority still require in-person bidding at the courthouse.
What is a "struck-off" property in Texas?
A struck-off property is one that did not sell at the original tax sale. It becomes the property of the taxing entities and is typically offered for sale over-the-counter at the original minimum bid — usually a fraction of market value.
