When it runs

Registration and deposit

Not published by the county. Texas Tax Code 34.015 requires a bidder to first obtain a written statement from the county tax assessor-collector showing the bidder owes no delinquent property taxes, then present that statement at the sale. Request it from the Scurry County Tax Assessor-Collector at 1806 25th Street #103, Snyder, or by phone at (325) 573-9316.

Sale format and venue
Scurry County has not put its redeemable tax deed sale logistics online. The tax office keeps a dedicated Tax Sale page, but the page is an unfinished stub carrying only office contact details. The office FAQ explains that property "can be bought for delinquent taxes only after a lawsuit for tax lien foreclosure has been filed, and later a judgment has been granted by the court to sell the property," and points buyers to Perdue Brandon Fielder Collins & Mott, LLP, the firm that handles the county's delinquent tax collection. No online auction platform is named on any Scurry County page, so treat the sale as an in-person courthouse sale until the county says otherwise. The county directory lists no constable, and the Sheriff's civil fee schedule prices an "Order of Sale" at $125.00, consistent with the sheriff executing the court's order of sale. Call the tax office at (325) 573-9316 or the Sheriff's Office at (325) 573-3551 for the sale date, location, and bid sheet before traveling. Winning bidders take a deed subject to the owner's right of redemption under Texas Tax Code 34.21.

Scurry County tax sale list and auction calendar

For Scurry 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

    Scurry County publishes no tax sale list online. The Scurry County Sheriff's Office, on judgments obtained for the Scurry County Tax Assessor-Collector by the county's delinquent tax law firm, Perdue Brandon Fielder Collins & Mott, LLP advertises the parcels ahead of the sale rather than posting them, so the list reaches bidders through the county legal newspaper and the office itself. Call (325) 573-9316 to ask for the current advertisement.

  2. Register to bid

    Not published by the county. Full requirements are in the sale card above.

  3. Sale day

    Scurry County publishes no sale calendar. 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 Scurry County Sheriff's Office, on judgments obtained for the Scurry County Tax Assessor-Collector by the county's delinquent tax law firm, Perdue Brandon Fielder Collins & Mott, LLP as the source to confirm which parcels are actually offered.

Before you bid in Scurry County

  1. Start with the live sale list

    There is no online list to price against. Scurry County advertises the parcels before the sale rather than posting them, so get the advertisement from the office on (325) 573-9316 and price from the parcel numbers it carries.

  2. Confirm registration and deposit

    Not published by the county. Texas Tax Code 34.015 requires a bidder to first obtain a written statement from the county tax assessor-collector showing the bidder owes no delinquent property taxes, then present that statement at the sale. Request it from the Scurry County Tax Assessor-Collector at 1806 25th Street #103, Snyder, or by phone at (325) 573-9316.

  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.
