When it runs
Roberts County publishes no tax sale calendar and had no tax sale notice posted as of July 2026. Texas Tax Code 34.01 sets these sales on the first Tuesday of the month. The only sale notice on the county's Foreclosure Sales page is a deed of trust foreclosure rather than a tax sale, and it fixes the sale for "Tuesday, May 5, 2026 at 01:00 PM, no later than three (3) hours after such time, being the first Tuesday of such month" at the "Roberts County Courthouse, 300 E. Commercial Street, Miami, TX 79059, or in the area designated by the Commissioner's Court." That language identifies the county's designated public sale area, which is the same place a Tax Code 34.01 sale is held.
Registration and deposit

Roberts County publishes no bidder registration page or bidder packet. Texas Tax Code 34.015 requires a bidder to present a written statement from the county tax assessor-collector showing no delinquent property taxes are owed in the county. Request that statement from the Roberts County Tax Assessor-Collector at (806) 868-3611 well before a sale date.

Sale format and venue
Roberts County is one of the smallest counties in Texas and runs no standing tax sale program online. Every sale notice it posts appears on one page, Public Notices and News, under the heading Foreclosure Sales. As of July 2026 that page carried a single item, a substitute trustee deed of trust sale set for May 5, 2026 on a lot in the Heare Addition to the Town of Miami. That notice is a mortgage foreclosure conducted by a substitute trustee for a loan servicer, not a Chapter 34 tax sale, so the Auction.com contact information printed on it does not apply to tax sales. Tax foreclosure sales do happen here: the District Clerk's Excess Funds From Sale list shows cause number 2225, styled "Roberts County, MISD/CED and/or Miami City," with $2,545.52 in excess proceeds held after the sale, which confirms the taxing units sue in district court and that surplus proceeds sit with the Roberts County District Clerk. No county page names the delinquent tax law firm, and Roberts County did not appear on McCreary Veselka Bragg & Allen's upcoming Texas tax sales list. Because the county publishes no sale roster, no bidder packet and no auction platform, treat the Tax Assessor-Collector's office as the working contact and call ahead to confirm whether any struck-off or resale property under Tax Code 34.05 is available. Anything bought is a redeemable deed subject to the owner's Tax Code 34.21 redemption right. In person at the Roberts County Courthouse. No online auction platform is published for Roberts County tax sales.

Roberts County tax sale list and auction calendar

For Roberts 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 Foreclosure Sales notices (Public Notices and News) for the current advertised parcels, then recheck it before the auction.
  2. Register to bid

    Roberts County publishes no bidder registration page or bidder packet. 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 Roberts County Sheriff's Department as the source to confirm which parcels are actually offered.

Before you bid in Roberts County

  1. Start with the live sale list

    Pull the current advertised parcels from Foreclosure Sales notices (Public Notices and News). Lists can change before the sale, so recheck the county source before you price a parcel.
  2. Confirm registration and deposit

    Roberts County publishes no bidder registration page or bidder packet. Texas Tax Code 34.015 requires a bidder to present a written statement from the county tax assessor-collector showing no delinquent property taxes are owed in the county. Request that statement from the Roberts County Tax Assessor-Collector at (806) 868-3611 well before a sale date.

  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.
