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 notes
- The county seat is Weatherford. The county's main address is 1 Courthouse Square, Weatherford, TX 76086, phone (817) 458-9848.
- Tax sale notices are published on the District Clerk's page "Notice of Sale - Tex. Tax Code ch. 33-34," not on the Tax Assessor-Collector or Sheriff pages.
- The September 1, 2026 docket carried 12 tracts across suits brought by Weatherford ISD, Springtown ISD, Azle ISD and Aledo ISD, and mixed small royalty and mineral interests with improved lots and acreage. Mineral and royalty interests, homesteads and agricultural-use land carry the 2 year redemption at 25 percent in year one and 50 percent in year two under Tax Code 34.21; other property redeems in 180 days at 25 percent.
- Each listing in the notice shows an adjudged value, which sets the statutory minimum-bid reference under Tax Code 34.01. Values on the September 2026 list ranged from $100 for a small royalty interest to $558,140 for a subdivision lot.
- The Parker County Tax Assessor-Collector is at 1112 Santa Fe Drive, Weatherford, TX 76086, phone 817-598-6139, open Monday to Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, with branch offices in Springtown (817-523-7203) and Aledo (817-441-2695). That office handles auto registration and is not the tax sale contact.
- Parker County Appraisal District at parkercad.org (which redirects to a Southwest Data Solution property search) is the place to look up account numbers and situs addresses for listed tracts; the constable's own sale page directs bidders there.
- The Sheriff's Office is at 129 Hogle St., Weatherford, TX 76086, phone 817-594-8845, and its page lists "Conducting sales of seized and unclaimed properties" but does not reference tax foreclosure sales.
- Because the online move is recent, verify the platform and start time in the current month's notice before each sale; the notice is refiled by the constable ahead of each first Tuesday.
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.
