How Floyd County sells delinquent taxes
Tax certificate sale (lien)
Details are being verified for this county.
Tax deed sale
- Run by
- Floyd County Sheriff's Office (statutory conducting officer under Texas Tax Code Section 34.01; Floyd County publishes no tax sale page naming the officer)
- Frequency
- annual
- Typical timing
- No sale date is published by Floyd County. Nothing on the county website states a tax sale month, date, or location, and the Public Notices calendar showed only a non-substantive test entry dated 10/13/2022 ("Light box demo") when checked. Texas Tax Code Section 34.01 sets tax foreclosure sales on the first Tuesday of the month between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so any Floyd County sale would fall on a first Tuesday. Confirm the next sale directly with the Floyd County Tax Assessor-Collector at 806-983-4908.
Registration and deposit
No county registration process is published online. Under Texas Tax Code Section 34.015 a bidder must obtain a written statement from the county Tax Assessor-Collector certifying that the bidder owes no delinquent property taxes in the county, and present it to the officer conducting the sale. Request that statement from the Floyd County Tax Assessor-Collector, 105 South Main Street, Room 116, Floydada, TX 79235, phone 806-983-4908.
Floyd County publishes no redeemable tax deed sale page. Every page on the county site was reviewed: the Tax Assessor-Collector, Sheriff, County Clerk, Appraisal District, contact, County News, and Public Notices calendar pages contain no tax sale, sheriff sale, constable sale, foreclosure sale, or struck-off property information. The County Clerk page lists a "Foreclosures" menu item, but it is a dead stub link with no destination and no notices behind it. The Floyd County Appraisal District site has no delinquent tax or tax sale section. Floyd County does not appear on MVBA's upcoming Texas tax sales list, nor on Perdue Brandon Fielder Collins and Mott's Texas county tax sale listings, so no delinquent tax law firm publishes a Floyd County sale list. No online auction platform was verified for this county, and no platform URL is asserted. Floyd County is a small rural county, so sales are likely infrequent and noticed only at the courthouse door, in the county clerk's records, and in a newspaper of general circulation as Texas Tax Code Section 34.01 requires. Call the Tax Assessor-Collector before relying on any third-party listing.
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 statewide 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.
