Notes

Texas redeemable tax-deed. Nacogdoches County (oldest town in Texas; Stephen F. Austin State University) follows the statewide first-Tuesday tax foreclosure pattern via sheriff/constable when orders of sale issue. Nacogdoches CAD (nacocad.org) appraises and supports collections research; Tax Assessor-Collector (101 W Main) issues tax certificates and written statements. Confirm current sale conductor (courthouse vs. any online dual listing) on each notice and with TAC. University rental demand and East Texas timber/oil mix shape inventory quality—inspect for flood, septic, and occupancy issues.
