Tax Foreclosure Sale

Tax foreclosure sales will be conducted by the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office. These sales are held on the first Tuesday of the month beginning at 10:00 a.m. and by law can be conducted between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. in the Commissioners’ Courtroom on the 1st floor of the Brazoria County Courthouse.

Purchasers receive a Sheriff's Deed that is without warranty. Bidders should satisfy themselves concerning title and location of the property and improvements on the property including any encroachments prior to bidding. Neither Perdue Brandon nor the Brazoria County Tax Office can guarantee the title to any property. The tax sale is an “as is”, “where is”, “buyer beware” sale. If you have any questions about specific liens or ownership of the property, you may research the title yourself or through a title company.

Taxes may be due beyond what is listed in the minimum bid amounts and must be paid independently of the bid amount. The post judgment taxes, if any, will be listed under the minimum bid on the tax sale list.

Accepted payment methods are CASH, MONEY ORDER OR CASHIER’S CHECK made payable to BRAZORIA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE. Personal or company checks will only be accepted with a Letter of Guaranty from the bank. ALL PAYMENTS MUST BE EXACT. No overages will be accepted, and no change will be made."

Please be advised that you MUST pay for the property immediately after the sale. If you do not have the funds available, DO NOT BID. Once your bid is accepted, if you fail to pay for the property, we will file a Motion with the court seeking to impose a fine for your failure to complete the sale. If you are not back by 12:00 p.m. on the day of the sale, with the funds, the property may be reoffered for sale the same day.

 

STATE LAW requires persons/companies to obtain a Statement of No Delinquent Tax from the Brazoria County Tax Office in order to be eligible to bid in the tax sale. This statement must be provided to the officer(s) conducting the sale prior to the beginning of the sale. To obtain this statement, you must fill out the provided request under oath and have it notarized. Mail your completed request with a $10.00 processing fee, in the form of a money order or cashier check made out to the Brazoria County Tax Office at 111 E. Locust, Angleton, Texas 77515 or deliver in person at 451 N. Velasco, Angleton, Texas. Mail in your completed form with payment no less than 10 days prior to the sale to ensure that you are eligible to bid. Statement of No Delinquent Tax requests will not be processed on the day of sale. The person or company name provided on your request for a Statement of No Delinquent Tax will be the name recorded on your deed. Pursuant to Tax Code 34.014 a person who knowingly violates Tax Code 34.015 commits a Class B Misdemeanor Offense.
