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.
Collin County Tax Sale Process
Collin County is one of the fastest-growing counties in America. Tax sales are limited as most properties perform well. Opportunities are often in older areas of Plano and McKinney or rural northern portions.
Redemption Period
2 years for homestead/ag, 180 days for others
Standard Texas redemption periods apply. High property values and strong owner equity mean most properties redeem.
Strike-Off Properties
Strike-off inventory is minimal due to high demand. When available, often represent unique situations requiring specialized solutions.
Challenges to Expect
Every county has unique obstacles. Here's what experienced investors encounter in Collin County:
- Limited distressed inventory due to high equity positions
- High property values require significant capital
- Strong competition for any available opportunities
- Newer subdivisions have clean title chains
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there curative title opportunities in Collin County?
Opportunities are limited compared to other Texas counties. Focus on older Plano and McKinney neighborhoods, estate situations, or rural northern areas transitioning to suburbs. The county is better suited for buy-and-hold than curative title plays.
How does Collin County compare to Dallas County?
Collin County has higher values and less distress. Dallas County has more heir property and tax delinquency. Most curative title investors focus on Dallas County and consider Collin for premium exit strategies.
What data sources are available for Collin County?
Collin Central Appraisal District (CCAD) provides property search tools. Tax delinquent lists are available from the Tax Assessor-Collector. Liensuite includes Collin County in our DFW metro coverage.
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.
