Details are being verified for this county.
Tax deed sale
- Run by
- Not published by Ochiltree County. Texas Tax Code Sec. 34.01 ("SALE OF PROPERTY") assigns the sale to "the officer charged with selling the property," which in Ochiltree County means the Sheriff's Office (Sheriff Terry Bouchard, 511 S. Ash, Perryton) or the Constable (Tim Olivarez, Ochiltree County Courthouse). Neither office page lists tax sales, and the Tax Assessor-Collector page (Angel Hernandez) carries no delinquent tax sale section.
- Frequency
- annual
- Typical timing
- No Ochiltree County sale calendar is published online. The statutory window applies: a sale of real property "must take place between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on the first Tuesday of a month" (Texas Tax Code Sec. 34.01(r-1)), other than a sale conducted by public auction using online bidding. The county clerk's foreclosure notices show first-Tuesday sale postings for the Ochiltree County courthouse, for example a Notice of Trustee's Sale set for August 4, 2026, which is a deed-of-trust foreclosure rather than a tax sale.
Registration and deposit
Not published by Ochiltree County. Under Texas Tax Code Sec. 34.015 ("PERSONS ELIGIBLE TO PURCHASE REAL PROPERTY"), a bidder must obtain a written statement from the county assessor-collector confirming no delinquent property taxes are owed, and present it to the selling officer. Request that statement from the Ochiltree County Tax Assessor-Collector at 806-435-8025 before a sale date. Confirm bidder requirements and the sale location with the Sheriff's Office at 806-435-8000.
Ochiltree County publishes no tax sale page. Every official county page checked (home, Tax Assessor-Collector, Sheriff, Constable, County Clerk, Public Notices) was fetched and none mentions a tax sale, a struck-off or resale list, a bidder registration procedure, or an online auction platform. No online auction platform was verified for this county, so no platform URL is given. Treat the sale as conducted in person at the courthouse under the Sec. 34.01 first-Tuesday window unless the county says otherwise, and call the Tax Assessor-Collector or Sheriff to confirm the next sale date, the designated sale area, and whether the county has moved to online bidding. Sale notices, when issued, appear in the county clerk's posted notices and in the local newspaper of record.
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.

- The county's Public Notices page was fetched and carried no sale, auction, or bid content. [ochiltree-public-notices]
- No online auction platform was confirmed for Ochiltree County from any official source, so no platform name or URL is recorded. Buyers should verify the format directly with the Sheriff's Office before relying on an in-person assumption.
- Redemption follows Texas Tax Code Sec. 34.21 ("RIGHT OF REDEMPTION"): a redeemable deed, not a lien certificate. [tx-tax-code-34]
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.
