Details are being verified for this county.

- Frequency
- annual
- Typical timing
- First Tuesday of the month, starting at 10:00 AM Central. The county's Notice of Sale states the officer will sell "on the first Tuesday in September, 2026, the same being the 1st day of said month, in an online auction conducted by GovEase.com at URL: https://www.govease.com/auctions, beginning at 10:00 AM." The instruction sheet attached to the same notice lists "Next Auction: September 1st, 2026, 10:00AM - 2:00PM Central."
Registration and deposit
Create a GovEase account and register before the sale at https://liveauctions.govease.com/Account/Login. The county's own instruction sheet says "We are excited to announce that the Parker County tax sales are moving online with GovEase. Registration will begin on August 4th, 2026," and points bidders to www.govease.com to create an account and to www.govease.com/bidderhelp for online training. GovEase support is [email protected] or (769) 208-5050 ext. 2. Separately, Texas Tax Code 34.015 requires a bidder to obtain a written statement from the county assessor-collector showing no delinquent taxes are owed, so confirm the current process with Constable Precinct 2 at 682-229-2167 before the sale.
Parker County moved its delinquent tax foreclosure sales online in 2026. The Notice of Sale is headed "PARKER COUNTY ONLINE TAX SALE," was received and filed for record by District Clerk Sharena Gilliland on July 21, 2026, and is signed "Constable Joe Harris, Jr, Parker County, Texas." Property is sold for cash to the highest bidder and "any property sold shall be subject to the right of redemption of the defendants or any person having an interest therein, to redeem the said property, or their interest therein, within the time and in the manner provided by law," the redeemable-deed right under Tax Code 34.21. The Parker County Tax Assessor-Collector does not run the sale; that office states it "strictly handles Auto Registration in Parker County" and refers property tax questions to the Parker County Appraisal District (1108 Santa Fe Dr, Weatherford, 817-596-0077). The Sheriff's Office page makes no mention of tax sales. Note that Constable Precinct 2 also posts non-tax execution sales, which are still held in person at the Parker County District Courthouse Door, 117 Fort Worth Highway, Weatherford, at 10:00am; do not confuse those with the online Tax Code chapter 33-34 sales.
Register on GovEaseOver-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.

Notes for Parker County
- The county seat is Weatherford. The county's main address is 1 Courthouse Square, Weatherford, TX 76086, phone (817) 458-9848.
- Tax sale notices are published on the District Clerk's page "Notice of Sale - Tex. Tax Code ch. 33-34," not on the Tax Assessor-Collector or Sheriff pages.
- The September 1, 2026 docket carried 12 tracts across suits brought by Weatherford ISD, Springtown ISD, Azle ISD and Aledo ISD, and mixed small royalty and mineral interests with improved lots and acreage. Mineral and royalty interests, homesteads and agricultural-use land carry the 2 year redemption at 25 percent in year one and 50 percent in year two under Tax Code 34.21; other property redeems in 180 days at 25 percent.
- Each listing in the notice shows an adjudged value, which sets the statutory minimum-bid reference under Tax Code 34.01. Values on the September 2026 list ranged from $100 for a small royalty interest to $558,140 for a subdivision lot.
- The Parker County Tax Assessor-Collector is at 1112 Santa Fe Drive, Weatherford, TX 76086, phone 817-598-6139, open Monday to Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, with branch offices in Springtown (817-523-7203) and Aledo (817-441-2695). That office handles auto registration and is not the tax sale contact.
- Parker County Appraisal District at parkercad.org (which redirects to a Southwest Data Solution property search) is the place to look up account numbers and situs addresses for listed tracts; the constable's own sale page directs bidders there.
- The Sheriff's Office is at 129 Hogle St., Weatherford, TX 76086, phone 817-594-8845, and its page lists "Conducting sales of seized and unclaimed properties" but does not reference tax foreclosure sales.
- Because the online move is recent, verify the platform and start time in the current month's notice before each sale; the notice is refiled by the constable ahead of each first Tuesday.
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.
