The sale, in numbers

The published list carries 10 properties for the December 1 sale. One data note, stated plainly: the county's published list for this sale does not carry amounts due or minimum bids for these parcels, so neither do we. The report for this sale is the complete parcel list exactly as the county published it — no estimated amounts, no invented figures. What you are buying is completeness and currency: every parcel, kept current as the county's list changes, instead of a stale PDF pulled weeks before the sale.

The county publishes assessed values with this list — median $12,785 across 10 parcels — so a conservative ceiling estimate (65% of assessed, labeled Estimate) can be set parcel by parcel: $8,310 on the median parcel. Assessed value is the county's figure, not a market appraisal.

How this Texas sale works

Texas sells redeemable tax deeds at sheriff and constable sales on the first Tuesday of the month. The buyer receives a sheriff's deed at the sale, but the owner can still redeem — 2 years from the deed recording for residence homestead, agricultural and mineral property, 180 days for everything else — by repaying the aggregate purchase price plus a flat redemption premium: 25% in year one, and 50% in year two for homestead, agricultural and mineral property. The premium is owed even if the owner redeems on day one, and bidding a premium over the minimum bid does not change the percentage.

Before Tuesday: how to work this list

Start from the full list on the Limestone County page linked below and work it down to a bid list before sale day: screen for the areas and property types you actually buy, verify each finalist against county records, and confirm registration, deposit and payment rules with the county tax sale office well before December 1. The sale is on December 1; the buyers who win it are the ones who did the sorting in advance, not the ones scrolling on sale day. Set each finalist's ceiling from the property and the published assessed value where the county provides one — never from the amount owed alone.

Questions

Why doesn't the report show amounts owed?
The county's published list for this sale does not include amounts due for these parcels. We publish data exactly as the county releases it and never invent figures — the report is the complete, current parcel list; amounts can be confirmed per-parcel in the county's tax records.

When is a Texas tax deed fully the buyer's?
The sheriff's deed issues at the sale, but the owner's redemption right runs 2 years from the deed recording for residence homestead, agricultural and mineral property, and 180 days for all other property. If the owner redeems, they repay the purchase price plus the flat redemption premium (25% in year one).
