When it runs
Registration and deposit
Sales are live and in person. Per Perdue Brandon's FAQ, "The commissioners court for the county in which the sale is being held may require that, to be an eligible bidder, a person must be registered as a bidder with the county tax assessor-collector before the sale begins," and "Bidders must request a written statement from the county tax assessor-collector of no delinquent taxes due" (Tax Code Sec. 34.015). The officer cannot deliver a deed without that statement. Nacogdoches is unusual: the Texas Comptroller county directory states the county tax assessor-collector's office "does not collect property taxes," and Nacogdoches Central Appraisal District says it "collects for all of the above taxing units," so confirm with NCAD at (936) 560-3447 where the written statement is issued. Sales are for cash, with most counties accepting cash or cashier's checks. Struck-off resale properties are bought a different way: a written offer on Perdue Brandon's bid form, mailed or faxed to its Tyler office, at a minimum of 50 percent of the original minimum bid, subject to acceptance by every taxing unit that was a party to the suit.

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.

County offices
County notes
- Collection split matters here. The Texas Comptroller's county directory for Nacogdoches lists Tax Assessor-Collector Kim Morton at 101 W. Main St. #100, Nacogdoches, Texas 75961-4806, phone 936-560-7767, fax 936-564-2217, but the same entry says "This tax office does not collect property taxes" and points to the appraisal district. That directory block is stamped "Last Updated: 04/23/2013," so confirm the officeholder and phone before relying on it.
- Nacogdoches Central Appraisal District's homepage states plainly, "Nacogdoches Central Appraisal District collects for all of the above taxing units," a list that includes Nacogdoches County, nine school districts, three cities, the hospital district, a MUD, and five emergency services districts.
- NCAD's homepage also posts, "Perdue Brandon is the law firm for NCAD. Please respond to their correspondence," and links its delinquent tax law firm page to the Perdue Brandon tax foreclosure sale FAQ. That link is the chain of custody connecting the county's sale notices to the firm's site.
- The county government site at www.co.nacogdoches.tx.us now redirects to www.nacogdochesco.gov, which is a nearly empty rebuild carrying a "NOTICE OF CYBERSECURITY INCIDENT" and a note that the county is moving to a new website. It has no tax office, sheriff sale, or public tax sale page at this time. Main county number listed: 936.560.7755, 101 W Main St, Nacogdoches, TX 75961.
- Perdue Brandon's site marks the June 2026 Nacogdoches County sale notice as inactive and the file (docs/taxdocs/sales/06-2026nacogdochestaxsale.pdf) now returns 404, which is consistent with an occasional rather than monthly sale calendar in this county.
- A domain named nacogdochescountysheriff.com resolves but serves a parked Bluehost holding page, not an official sheriff's office site. No official Nacogdoches County Sheriff web page for sales was found.
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.
