Registration and deposit

No online bidder registration. You must be present to bid, and before bidding you must give the presiding officer a written statement from the Hunt County Tax Assessor-Collector showing you owe no delinquent taxes in the county. The county's Bidder's Written Statement form is captioned "REQUEST FOR WRITTEN STATEMENT UNDER TEXAS TAX CODE 34.015 REGARDING DELINQUENT TAXES," must be sworn before a notary, and states that "Money Order or Cash payment of $10.00 per Written Statement, payable to Hunt County Tax Office, must accompany this form. Payment is required before Written Statement will be issued." The Tax Office is at (903) 408-4000. Payment terms for winning bids are set out on each month's sale notice.

Sale format and venue
Hunt County runs a live, in person tax foreclosure sale; no online auction platform is used. The taxing units are split between two delinquent tax law firms, so bidders should check both. Perdue Brandon (pbfcm.com, Tyler office (903) 597-7664) serves Hunt County, the cities of Campbell, Greenville, Lone Oak, Quinlan and Wolfe City, Bland, Boles, Commerce, Lone Oak, Quinlan and Wolfe City ISDs, Poetry Road Municipal Utility District No. 1, Caddo Mills Municipal Management District No. 1 and Magnolia Pointe MUD. Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson (Greenville office (903) 454-2059) serves Hunt Memorial Hospital, the cities of Celeste, Caddo Mills, Commerce, Hawk Cove and West Tawakoni, Caddo Mills, Campbell, Celeste, Cumby and Greenville ISDs, and Verandah MUD. The minimum bid includes the judgment tax years plus court costs, and the Tax Office warns that "There may be additional taxes due which have been assessed since the date of the judgment." Buyers receive a sheriff's or constable's deed that is "without warranty and subject to the owner's statutory right of redemption," and properties are sold "AS IS."

Hunt County tax sale list and auction calendar

For Hunt 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. Confirm the advertised parcel list

    Use Hunt County tax sale notices (Perdue Brandon Texas tax sale listings) as a starting reference. Check which sale or list it covers; a Lands Available or office information page is separate from an auction parcel list. Ask the sale office for the advertised parcels for the auction you plan to attend.

  2. Register to bid

    No online bidder registration. Full requirements are in the sale card above.

  3. Sale day

    First Tuesday of the month at 10:00 a.m., when a sale is offered. The sale is live and in person; there is no online bidding platform. Confirm the venue and hour with the Hunt County Sheriff or Constable before you go.

  4. Confirm with the office

    If the list, platform, and notice disagree, use the Hunt County Sheriff or Constable as the source to confirm which parcels are actually offered.

Before you bid in Hunt County

  1. Confirm the parcel list before pricing

    Open Hunt County tax sale notices (Perdue Brandon Texas tax sale listings). Confirm whether this reference contains the auction parcels or covers a different list. Get the advertised parcel list from the county before you price a bid, and recheck it before the sale.

  2. Confirm registration and deposit

    No online bidder registration. You must be present to bid, and before bidding you must give the presiding officer a written statement from the Hunt County Tax Assessor-Collector showing you owe no delinquent taxes in the county. The county's Bidder's Written Statement form is captioned "REQUEST FOR WRITTEN STATEMENT UNDER TEXAS TAX CODE 34.015 REGARDING DELINQUENT TAXES," must be sworn before a notary, and states that "Money Order or Cash payment of $10.00 per Written Statement, payable to Hunt County Tax Office, must accompany this form. Payment is required before Written Statement will be issued." The Tax Office is at (903) 408-4000. Payment terms for winning bids are set out on each month's sale notice.

  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

  • Venue: the Tax Office FAQ describes Texas sales generically as held "on the north steps of the County Courthouse." Confirm the exact location on the month's posted sale notice.
  • Struck-off / resale inventory: the Tax Office FAQ says property that draws no minimum bid becomes "Judgment Property" that can be purchased "at any time after the original Sherriff/Constable sale, which can transpire immediately after the property is announced 'struck off' to the taxing jurisdictions" (Tax Code 34.05 resale). No public struck-off list URL was found on the county or firm sites; ask the law firm handling the account.
  • Redemption applies to every purchase. The Tax Office FAQ states all properties sold at the "Tax Foreclosure / Constable Sales" carry a redemption period under Texas Property Tax Code Chapter 34, and the firm's statewide FAQ states "The redemption period is two years for homestead property, agriculture use property and mineral interests and 180 days on all other types of property."
  • Do not confuse the county clerk's online foreclosure notice archive (linked from the county's Foreclosures/Trustee Sales page) with the tax sale list. That archive holds trustee sale notices filed with County Clerk Becky Landrum and showed no tax sale category.
  • The Hunt County Tax Office Property Sales page also links a separate Mobile Home Sales page and hosts the Bidder's Written Statement form PDF.

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.
