When it runs
Not published by the county. Midland County posts no delinquent tax sale calendar on the Tax Office page, the Sheriff's Office pages, or the Midland Central Appraisal District site, and no Midland sale appears on the delinquent tax law firm listings checked in July 2026. Texas sheriff sales run on the first Tuesday of the month under Tax Code Section 34.01, so confirm the next Midland date directly with the Tax Office at 432-688-4810.
Registration and deposit

No county-published bidder registration instructions were found. Texas Tax Code Section 34.015 requires a bidder to give the officer conducting the sale a written statement from the county assessor-collector showing no delinquent taxes are owed. Midland County contracts its property tax collection to the Midland Central Appraisal District, so call the Tax Office at 432-688-4810 or MCAD collections at 432-699-4991 to confirm which office issues that statement and how far ahead it must be requested.

Sale format and venue
Midland County does not publish a redeemable tax deed sale page. Searches of the county site for tax sale, sheriff sale, constable sale, struck off, and resale returned no sale content, and neither the Sheriff's Office pages nor the Civil/Warrants Division page mentions property sales or bidder requirements. Because no authorized online auction platform lists Midland County, expect a traditional in-person sheriff sale on the courthouse steps until the county says otherwise; no platform URL is given because none was verified. The county Tax Office states that property collections are located at the Midland Central Appraisal District, and MCAD confirms it has contracted with Midland County for the collection of property taxes, so collections questions route through MCAD (collections@midcad.org). Commissioners' Court minutes from July 16, 2024 show the county considered terminating its existing delinquent tax collection contract and hiring McCreary, Veselka, Bragg & Allen, but no action was taken on any of those items after the Tax Assessor-Collector recommended staying with Perdue Brandon, so Perdue Brandon remains the county's delinquent tax counsel. The County Clerk posts notices of sale filed under Texas Property Code 51.002(f-1) and directs the public to search them by recorded date or sales date at https://midland.tx.publicsearch.us; that page covers deed of trust foreclosure postings and is not a curated tax sale list.

Midland County tax sale list and auction calendar

For Midland 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 County Clerk foreclosure and notice-of-sale postings (general postings page, not a dedicated tax sale list) for the current advertised parcels, then recheck it before the auction.

  2. Register to bid

    No county-published bidder registration instructions were found. Full requirements are in the sale card above.

  3. Sale day

    Not published by the 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 Midland County Sheriff's Office as the source to confirm which parcels are actually offered.

Before you bid in Midland County

  1. Start with the live sale list

    Pull the current advertised parcels from County Clerk foreclosure and notice-of-sale postings (general postings page, not a dedicated tax sale list). Lists can change before the sale, so recheck the county source before you price a parcel.

  2. Confirm registration and deposit

    No county-published bidder registration instructions were found. Texas Tax Code Section 34.015 requires a bidder to give the officer conducting the sale a written statement from the county assessor-collector showing no delinquent taxes are owed. Midland County contracts its property tax collection to the Midland Central Appraisal District, so call the Tax Office at 432-688-4810 or MCAD collections at 432-699-4991 to confirm which office issues that statement and how far ahead it must be requested.

  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.

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.
