When it runs
No fixed auction date is published for Hudspeth County. The county's active, documented channel is the struck-off (post-tax-sale) property bid process, and the district's Form A states: "Struck off property bids are presented in each quarterly board meeting for the appraisal district." The same form warns that a decision "could be a month's delay or a whole year, depending on the process," because bids wait on the delinquent tax attorneys' review before the board can act. Under Texas Tax Code 34.01, any sheriff tax-foreclosure sale in Texas is held on the first Tuesday of the month, but no Hudspeth County sale notice or date was found on an official page.
Registration and deposit

Bids on struck-off (trustee) property are submitted on the district's "FORM A - POST-TAX SALE PROPERTY BID APPLICATION (SOP)," filed with the Hudspeth Appraisal District. The form requires applicant and parcel details, a minimum acceptable offer, and a bid amount, plus eligibility answers on whether the bidder is delinquent on property taxes in the jurisdiction, owns property with outstanding code violations, or has been debarred from purchasing from the district. The applicant certifies under penalty of perjury that he or she is "not delinquent in taxes owed to any taxing jurisdiction in Hudspeth County." No deposit is collected: "A deposit is not required, payment is expected in full, if your bid is accepted." Payment is by certified check, money order, or personal check, and "No Cash is accepted for bidding." Bids are not sealed and the amounts are public. The delinquent tax attorneys review each bid, then the Appraisal District Board accepts, denies, or makes a counteroffer at a quarterly meeting. Incomplete applications are not processed.

Sale format and venue
Hudspeth County is unusual for Texas: the Hudspeth Appraisal District, not the county Tax Assessor-Collector, is the property tax collector. The district's chief appraiser states, "Our office collects taxes for all entities in Hudspeth County," and the county's own Tax Assessor-Collector page (titled "Tax Assessor & Vehicle Registration") tells the public, "For Property Tax questions, please call the Hudspeth Appraisal District." No online auction platform was found for this county. Struck-off inventory is sold by written bid delivered to the appraisal district, and any Tax Code 34.01 foreclosure sale would be an in-person sheriff sale at the courthouse, so investors should plan on paper and in-person process rather than an online portal. Linebarger's Texas tax sale dataset returned zero records for Hudspeth County when queried, and the county does not appear on MVBA's monthly Texas sale schedule, so no third-party firm currently publishes a Hudspeth auction calendar. Property is sold as-is: per Form A, "it is the buyer's responsibility to research, do a title search, get maps, survey the property once bought." Maps can be obtained at the appraisal district office at 103 W Millican or the Hudspeth County Clerk's office at 109 W Millican in Sierra Blanca; district staff will point buyers to records but will not run deed searches. Note also that the Hudspeth County Sheriff's published "auction page" covers abandoned, unclaimed, forfeited, and surplus property under Code of Criminal Procedure Article 18.17, not tax foreclosures. Texas sells a redeemable deed, so a Hudspeth purchase stays subject to the owner's statutory redemption right and premium under Tax Code 34.21.

Hudspeth County tax sale list and auction calendar

For Hudspeth County tax sale 2026 searches, use the county-run sources below rather than a copied parcel list, and confirm the parcel, registration cutoff, deposit, and payment deadline against the county before you bid. If the parcels on this list are vacant land rather than houses, what buying land at a tax sale hands you is the place to start.

  1. Get the advertised list

    Use Struck-off (trustee) property list: 2025 Certified Appraisal Roll, Hudspeth Appraisal District Trustee Properties (PDF, 76 pages, run 08/25/2025) for the current advertised parcels, then recheck it before the auction.

  2. Register to bid

    Ask the county office how and when to register; many counties close registration days or weeks before the sale.

  3. Sale day

    No fixed auction date is published for Hudspeth County. The auction platform is still being verified. Confirm the next sale date and registration window with the county before you bid.

  4. Confirm with the office

    If the list, platform, and notice disagree, use Hudspeth Appraisal District as the source to confirm which parcels are actually offered.

Before you bid in Hudspeth County

  1. Start with the live sale list

    Pull the current advertised parcels from Struck-off (trustee) property list: 2025 Certified Appraisal Roll, Hudspeth Appraisal District Trustee Properties (PDF, 76 pages, run 08/25/2025). Lists can change before the sale, so recheck the county source before you price a parcel.

  2. Confirm registration and deposit

    Bids on struck-off (trustee) property are submitted on the district's "FORM A - POST-TAX SALE PROPERTY BID APPLICATION (SOP)," filed with the Hudspeth Appraisal District. The form requires applicant and parcel details, a minimum acceptable offer, and a bid amount, plus eligibility answers on whether the bidder is delinquent on property taxes in the jurisdiction, owns property with outstanding code violations, or has been debarred from purchasing from the district. The applicant certifies under penalty of perjury that he or she is "not delinquent in taxes owed to any taxing jurisdiction in Hudspeth County." No deposit is collected: "A deposit is not required, payment is expected in full, if your bid is accepted." Payment is by certified check, money order, or personal check, and "No Cash is accepted for bidding." Bids are not sealed and the amounts are public. The delinquent tax attorneys review each bid, then the Appraisal District Board accepts, denies, or makes a counteroffer at a quarterly meeting. Incomplete applications are not processed.

  3. 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.

  4. 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

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.

County notes

  • The Hudspeth Appraisal District collects property taxes for every taxing entity in the county, so tax sale and struck-off property questions go to the district (915-369-4118), not to the county Tax Assessor-Collector.
  • The county Tax Assessor-Collector office, listed as "Tax Assessor & Vehicle Registration" under Patricia Rose at PO Box 158, Sierra Blanca, TX 79851, (915) 369-2331, handles vehicle registration and refers property tax questions to the appraisal district.
  • The struck-off inventory is large for a county of this size: the trustee property roll runs 76 pages of parcels held by the appraisal district, mostly small subdivision lots in the Sierra Blanca area with assessed values in the low hundreds of dollars.
  • There is no published Hudspeth County auction calendar. Timing depends on the appraisal district's quarterly board meetings and on how quickly the delinquent tax attorneys clear each bid.
  • Bid amounts are public, not sealed, so competing offers are visible during the review window.
  • No sale platform, auction vendor, or online bidding portal was found on any official Hudspeth County or Hudspeth Appraisal District page.

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.
Governing statute
Tex. Tax Code Chapter 34

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.
