When it runs
Registration and deposit
No county registration page or bidder packet was found. Under Texas Tax Code 34.015 the officer may not deliver the deed until the winning bidder produces an unexpired written statement from the county tax assessor-collector showing no delinquent ad valorem taxes are owed in the county. Note the wrinkle here: the Texas Comptroller directory entry for Crosby County states the tax assessor-collector's office does not collect property taxes and directs collection questions to the appraisal district. Request the no-delinquent-taxes statement from the Tax Assessor-Collector at 806-675-2311 and confirm payment terms and any registration step with Crosby Central Appraisal District at 806-675-2356 well before a sale.

Check the state rules that change the bid
Read the Texas due-diligence checklist before bidding. Redemption, liens that survive a tax deed, title cleanup, and payment deadlines can change what a parcel is worth. Which liens survive is state law, so read what survives a tax deed in Texas before you price the title work.Set a walk-away number
Work out what the parcel is actually worth with the rural land value estimator, then turn it into a ceiling with the tax deed max-bid calculator.
Over-the-counter (leftover) purchases
unsold properties
Texas has no over-the-counter certificate list. Parcels that draw no sufficient bid are struck off to the taxing unit that requested the order of sale, and that unit may resell them at any time by public or private sale. A public resale requested through the sheriff or constable may be sold for any amount. A private sale generally may not go below the lesser of the market value stated in the judgment or the total judgments against the property, unless every taxing unit entitled to proceeds consents. Ask the county or its delinquent-tax law firm for the current struck-off inventory.

Official websiteCounty notes
- Michele Cook is the Crosby County Tax Assessor-Collector. Office phone 806-675-2311, fax 806-675-2516, email taxoffice2@crosbycountytx.com, at the Crosby County Courthouse, 201 W. Aspen St., Suite 100, Crosbyton, TX 79322.
- The Texas Comptroller's county tax office directory states that the Crosby County tax assessor-collector's office does not collect property taxes and directs collection questions to the appraisal district.

- The Crosby County website carries no tax sale, sheriff sale, or struck-off property page. Its Public Notices page held only a 2021 ballot-drawing notice plus commissioners court agendas when checked in July 2026, and neither the Sheriff nor the Constable page lists sale notices.
- Crosby County is not in the Linebarger (taxsales.lgbs.com) property database and does not appear on MVBA's upcoming county sale list, so its delinquent tax suits are handled elsewhere and its sale notices are not published through either service. Notices for a county this size are typically posted at the courthouse and run in the local newspaper.

Texas rules
- Redemption
- The redemption clock runs from the date the purchaser's deed is filed for record, not from the sale date. Property that was the owner's residence homestead or was land designated for agricultural use when the suit or the warrant application was filed, and any mineral interest, may be redeemed on or before the second anniversary of that filing. Every other property may be redeemed only through the 180th day after the deed is filed. When a parcel is struck off to a taxing unit instead, the period runs from the date the taxing unit's deed is filed for record. The former owner has no right to use, possess, or collect rent from the property while the redemption right runs, and the right of redemption cannot be sold or transferred: any instrument purporting to transfer it is void.
- Deed deposit
- The Tax Code sets no statewide deposit and no buyer premium. Section 34.01 directs the officer to conduct the sale the way similar property is sold under execution, so payment terms are set locally by the officer who runs the sale. Most Texas counties collect the full bid in cash or by cashier's check on the day of the sale. Confirm the terms with the county before you bid.
- Homestead deeds
- Texas sets no separate opening bid for a homestead. What changes on a homestead parcel is the exit: a residence homestead, land designated for agricultural use when the suit or warrant application was filed, and a mineral interest all carry a two-year redemption right instead of 180 days, and the premium the owner pays can reach 50 percent in the second year. Price a homestead parcel for that longer clock.
- Surplus proceeds
- The officer pays any excess proceeds to the clerk of the court that issued the order of sale. The clerk holds the excess for two years after the sale and notifies the former owner when the amount exceeds $25. A claim must be filed before the second anniversary of the sale. The court pays established claims in statutory priority: a purchaser at a sale later adjudged void, taxing units for post-judgment or omitted taxes, other lienholders, taxing units for unsatisfied judgment amounts, and then the former owner. Anything unclaimed is distributed to the taxing units.
A tax deed does not convey marketable title. Most buyers file a quiet title action before they can resell or insure the property. See the due diligence guide.
