Sale format and venue
Hunt County runs a live, in person tax foreclosure sale at the courthouse; no online auction platform is used. The taxing units are split between two delinquent tax law firms, so bidders should check both. Perdue Brandon (pbfcm.com, Tyler office (903) 597-7664, contact Stacy Fleming ext. 3204) posts the monthly Hunt County list and serves Hunt County, Hunt Memorial Hospital, the cities of Campbell, Greenville, Lone Oak, Quinlan and Wolfe City, and Bland, Boles and Commerce ISDs. Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson (Greenville office (903) 454-2059) serves the cities of Celeste, Caddo Mills, Commerce, Hawk Cove and West Tawakoni plus Greenville, Caddo Mills, Campbell, Celeste, Cumby, Lone Oak, Quinlan and Wolfe City ISDs and several MUDs. Buyers receive a sheriff's or constable's deed "without warranty"; the notice calls it an "as is," "where is," and "buyer beware" sale, warns that "Taxes may be due beyond what is listed in the minimum bid amounts," and that the list "changes frequently, and properties may be pulled from the tax sale at any time without advance notice to any potential bidders." The August 4, 2026 notice carried 8 tracts with estimated minimum bids from roughly $5,200 to $31,700. In person at the Hunt County Courthouse (no online auction platform)

Hunt County tax sale list and auction calendar

For Hunt 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 Hunt County tax sale notice (Perdue Brandon, monthly PDF) for the current advertised parcels, then recheck it before the auction.

  2. Register to bid

    No online bidder registration. Full requirements are in the sale card above.

  3. Sale day

    The sale is live and in person; there is no online bidding platform. Confirm the venue and hour with the county office before you go.

  4. Confirm with the office

    If the list, platform, and notice disagree, use Hunt County Sheriff or Constable, Precinct 1 (sales are administered for the taxing units by their delinquent tax law firms; the Hunt County Tax Office stopped running property tax sales on August 1, 2014) as the source to confirm which parcels are actually offered.

Before you bid in Hunt County

  1. Start with the live sale list

    Pull the current advertised parcels from Hunt County tax sale notice (Perdue Brandon, monthly PDF). Lists can change before the sale, so recheck the county source before you price a parcel.

  2. Confirm registration and deposit

    No online bidder registration. Before bidding, obtain a written statement from the Hunt County Tax Assessor-Collector showing you owe no delinquent taxes, then present it to the presiding officer at the sale. The sale notice says "HUNT COUNTY requires a bidder to obtain a Certification stating they do not owe any taxes in Hunt County" and points bidders to the Tax Office at (903) 408-4000. The county's Bidder's Written Statement form is captioned "REQUEST FOR WRITTEN STATEMENT UNDER TEXAS TAX CODE 34.015 REGARDING DELINQUENT TAXES," must be sworn before a notary, and states that "Money Order or Cash payment of $10.00 per Written Statement, payable to Hunt County Tax Office, must accompany this form. Payment is required before Written Statement will be issued." Winning bidders pay the full bid on sale day by cashier's check only, payable to HUNT COUNTY CONSTABLE PCT 1 (2801 Stuart St, Greenville TX 75401, (903) 453-6891). No cash and no personal checks are accepted.

  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

  • Venue wording differs by source: the current sale notice gives "HUNT COUNTY COURTHOUSE, 2ND FLOOR, 2507 LEE ST, GREENVILLE TX," while the Tax Office FAQ describes Texas sales generically as held "on the north steps of the County Courthouse." Confirm the location on the month's posted notice.
  • Payment goes to the constable, not the tax office: "Payment must be made by Cashier's Check only PAYABLE TO HUNT COUNTY CONSTABLE PCT 1. No cash and no personal checks will be accepted. The Constable's office is located at 2801 STUART ST, GREENVILLE TX 75401 (903) 453-6891."
  • Citation mismatch to watch: the sale notice cites "Texas Property Tax Code Section 34.011" for the bidder certification, while the county's own request form is captioned under Tex. Tax Code 34.015. Use the Tax Office form on the Property Sales page.
  • Struck-off / resale inventory: the Tax Office FAQ says property that draws no minimum bid becomes "Judgment Property" that can be purchased "at any time after the original Sherriff/Constable sale, which can transpire immediately after the property is announced 'struck off' to the taxing jurisdictions" (Tax Code 34.05 resale). No public struck-off list URL was found on the county or firm sites; ask the law firm handling the account.
  • Redemption applies to every purchase. The Tax Office FAQ states all properties sold at the "Tax Foreclosure / Constable Sales" carry a redemption period under Texas Property Tax Code Chapter 34, and the firm's statewide FAQ states "The redemption period is two years for homestead property, agriculture use property and mineral interests and 180 days on all other types of property."
  • Do not confuse the county clerk's online foreclosure notice archive (linked from the county's Foreclosures/Trustee Sales page) with the tax sale list. That archive holds trustee sale notices filed with County Clerk Becky Landrum and showed no tax sale category.
  • The Hunt County Tax Office Property Sales page also links a separate Mobile Home Sales page and hosts the Bidder's Written Statement form PDF.

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.
