When it runs
First Tuesday of the month at 2:00 PM, at the county courthouse in Stinnett. The current notice reads: "I will proceed to sell at 2:00 PM on the 7th DAY OF July, 2026 which is the first Tuesday of said month, at the Official Door of the Courthouse of said HUTCHINSON County, in the City of STINETT Texas" (Stinnett as spelled on the notice). The companion tax warrant notice for the same date states the sale runs "at 2:00 p.m. on the 7th day of July, 2026 at the West Door in the Main Foyer of the Hutchinson County Courthouse, in Stinnett, Texas." Sales are held only when the county has judgments ready, so check the county homepage for the current notice rather than assuming a monthly sale.
Registration and deposit

Bidders must qualify through the Hutchinson County Tax Office before the sale. The July 7, 2026 foreclosure notice states: "ALL BIDDERS MUST CONTACT THE HUTCHINSON COUNTY TAX OFFICE BY 5:00 P.M. THURSDAY JULY 2, 2026 COMPLY WITH SECTION 34.015 OF THE TEXAS PROPERTY TAX CODE." The companion tax warrant notice states: "ALL BIDDERS MUST CONTACT THE HUTCHINSON COUNTY TAX OFFICE PRIOR TO JULY 7TH AND COMPLY WITH SECTION 34.015 OF THE TEXAS PROPERTY TAX CODE." Section 34.015 requires a written statement from the county tax assessor-collector confirming the bidder owes no delinquent property taxes in the county. Call the tax office at 806-878-4005 to start that statement well ahead of the deadline.

Sale format and venue
Hutchinson County runs a traditional in person Texas sheriff's sale, not an online auction. No online bidding platform is named on the county site or in either July 7, 2026 notice, so plan to attend at the courthouse door in Stinnett. Two separate notices were posted for the same date: one covering tax foreclosure judgments styled "HUTCHINSON COUNTY vs." individual defendants out of the 84th District Court, and one covering tax warrant seizures styled "City of Borger, et al" and "City of Fritch, et al" against owners of various properties inside those city limits. Inventory skews toward small urban lots in Borger, Fritch and Stinnett plus recreational lots in the Lake Meredith Harbor subdivision. The notice also warns on minimum bids and post judgment taxes: "The minimum bid for a person owning an interest in the property or for a person who is a party to the suit (other than a taxing unit), is the aggregate amount of the judgment(s) against the property plus all costs of suit and sale. THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL TAXES DUE ON THE PROPERTY WHICH HAVE BEEN ASSESSED SINCE THE DATE OF JUDGMENT." Buyers receive a redeemable deed under Texas Tax Code Chapter 34, so the former owner retains a statutory right of redemption after the sale. In person at the Hutchinson County Courthouse, 515 S. Main Street, Stinnett

Hutchinson County tax sale list and auction calendar

For Hutchinson 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 Notices of Sheriff's Sale (posted on the county homepage) for the current advertised parcels, then recheck it before the auction.

  2. Register to bid

    Bidders must qualify through the Hutchinson County Tax Office before the sale. Full requirements are in the sale card above.

  3. Sale day

    First Tuesday of the month at 2:00 PM, at the county courthouse in Stinnett. 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 Hutchinson County Sheriff (sales held under Orders of Sale and tax warrants issued by the 84th District Court of Hutchinson County; bidder qualification handled by the Hutchinson County Tax Office) as the source to confirm which parcels are actually offered.

Before you bid in Hutchinson County

  1. Start with the live sale list

    Pull the current advertised parcels from Notices of Sheriff's Sale (posted on the county homepage). Lists can change before the sale, so recheck the county source before you price a parcel.

  2. Confirm registration and deposit

    Bidders must qualify through the Hutchinson County Tax Office before the sale. The July 7, 2026 foreclosure notice states: "ALL BIDDERS MUST CONTACT THE HUTCHINSON COUNTY TAX OFFICE BY 5:00 P.M. THURSDAY JULY 2, 2026 COMPLY WITH SECTION 34.015 OF THE TEXAS PROPERTY TAX CODE." The companion tax warrant notice states: "ALL BIDDERS MUST CONTACT THE HUTCHINSON COUNTY TAX OFFICE PRIOR TO JULY 7TH AND COMPLY WITH SECTION 34.015 OF THE TEXAS PROPERTY TAX CODE." Section 34.015 requires a written statement from the county tax assessor-collector confirming the bidder owes no delinquent property taxes in the county. Call the tax office at 806-878-4005 to start that statement well ahead of the deadline.

  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

  • Sale venue: Hutchinson County Courthouse, 515 S. Main Street, Stinnett, TX 79083. The tax warrant notice specifies the West Door in the Main Foyer of the courthouse.
  • Hutchinson County Sheriff's Office (conducts the sale): 1400 Veta Street, Borger, TX 79007; mailing PO Box 1426, Borger, TX 79008; phone 806-274-6343; administrative hours Monday to Thursday 8:00am to 6:00pm.
  • Tax office hours listed on the county site: Stinnett and Borger 8:00am to 6:00pm Monday through Thursday; Fritch 8:00 to 12:30 and 1:30 to 6:00 Monday and Wednesday, 9:00 to 12:30 and 1:30 to 6:00 Tuesday and Thursday. Plan the Section 34.015 statement around a four day county work week.
  • Sale notices are posted as PDFs directly on the county homepage rather than on a dedicated tax sale page. The county's Public Notices page did not carry sale notices when checked.
  • The county site links a separate public tax records search at hutchinsoncountytax.com (Tyler Technologies hosted). That link could not be verified during research because of a TLS certificate mismatch, so treat it as unconfirmed.
  • No delinquent tax law firm is named on the county website or on either sale notice. Suits are styled in the county's own name and the notices are signed by the Sheriff.
  • Fritch and Borger city tax warrant properties are sold at the same courthouse sale, so a single trip can cover both dockets.

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.
