When it runs
Monthly, on the first Tuesday, at 10:00 A.M. The July 2026 notice reads: "the Webb County Sheriff has levied on the following described real property situated in Webb County, Texas, and will sell same on July 7, 2026 at 10:00 A.M. at the area outside the northwest (parking garage) 1st floor entrance to the Webb County Justice Center, 1110 Victoria Street, Laredo, TX." The August 2026 notice repeats the same language for August 4, 2026.
Registration and deposit

Webb County publishes no online bidder registration or pre-registration portal. Bidding happens in person at the Justice Center on sale day. The only bidder instruction printed on each notice is "BIDDERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SEEK LEGAL ADIVICE" (spelling as printed on the county PDF). Texas Tax Code 34.015 requires a bidder to present a written statement from the county tax assessor-collector showing no delinquent taxes are owed, so contact the Tax Assessor-Collector at 956-523-4200 before the sale to obtain that statement.

Sale format and venue
Webb County runs a live, in person redeemable tax deed sale. The Sheriff sells under Orders of Sale issued out of the 49th, 111th, 341st and 406th Judicial District Courts on tax judgments in favor of Webb County et al. Sales are held outside the northwest (parking garage) first floor entrance to the Webb County Justice Center at 1110 Victoria Street, Laredo. The Tax Assessor-Collector hosts a Sheriff Sales page with one PDF per month labeled "All Entities"; the archive runs from January 2022 through August 2026, which shows a near monthly cadence rather than only a few sales a year. Each monthly PDF bundles separate notices for the different taxing units, including Webb County et al and the City of Laredo et al, and each notice lists cause number, defendant, account number, legal description, judgment date and judgment amount. Some listed items are personal property (vehicles, furniture and fixtures) rather than real property, so read the legal description before bidding. The PDFs are scanned images, not searchable text, and they do not state minimum bid, deposit or payment terms; confirm those with the Sheriff or the Tax Assessor-Collector before the sale. Purchasers take subject to the owner's statutory right of redemption under Texas Tax Code 34.21. In person, live outcry at the courthouse. No online auction platform.

Webb County tax sale list and auction calendar

For Webb 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 Sheriff Sales: monthly All Entities notice PDFs for the current advertised parcels, then recheck it before the auction.

  2. Register to bid

    Webb County publishes no online bidder registration or pre-registration portal. 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 Webb County Sheriff (sale notices and monthly lists are published by the Webb County Tax Assessor-Collector) as the source to confirm which parcels are actually offered.

Before you bid in Webb County

  1. Start with the live sale list

    Pull the current advertised parcels from Sheriff Sales: monthly All Entities notice PDFs. Lists can change before the sale, so recheck the county source before you price a parcel.

  2. Confirm registration and deposit

    Webb County publishes no online bidder registration or pre-registration portal. Bidding happens in person at the Justice Center on sale day. The only bidder instruction printed on each notice is "BIDDERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SEEK LEGAL ADIVICE" (spelling as printed on the county PDF). Texas Tax Code 34.015 requires a bidder to present a written statement from the county tax assessor-collector showing no delinquent taxes are owed, so contact the Tax Assessor-Collector at 956-523-4200 before the sale to obtain that statement.

  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.

County notes

  • County seat is Laredo. The sale venue, the Webb County Justice Center at 1110 Victoria Street, is the same building as the Tax Assessor-Collector office (Suite 107).
  • The sale list lives under the Tax Assessor-Collector menu as "Sheriff Sales", not under the Sheriff's own pages; the Sheriff's department page carries no sale information.
  • No delinquent-tax law firm is named on the county sale page or on the notice pages reviewed, and no online auction platform is referenced anywhere on the county site.
  • Office fax is 956-523-5050 and the office email is webbtax@webbcountytx.gov, per the Tax Assessor-Collector page.
  • Monthly PDFs are large scans (roughly 10 to 14 MB, 24 to 26 pages), so expect a slow download.

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.
