Common after redemption period expires to obtain insurable title for resale or finance.
Texas redeemable tax deed county. Fort Bend does not sell tax lien certificates. Delinquent taxes are judicially foreclosed; Constables conduct public auctions (typically first Tuesday of each month, 10 a.m.–4 p.m., moving to first Wednesday if Tuesday is Jan 1 or July 4). Multiple precinct Constables and contracted delinquent-tax counsel (Linebarger, Perdue Brandon, Coats Rose, Smith Murdaugh, etc.) post lists. Sales recently held at Gus George Law Enforcement Academy — Patton Hall, Richmond (verify location each month). Post-sale statutory redemption: generally 2 years for homestead/agricultural/mineral, 180 days for other property (Texas Tax Code Ch. 34).
Inherited from Texas rather than researched for Fort Bend: type, redemption, returns, statute.
