Notes

Texas redeemable tax-deed. Orange County (Golden Triangle / I-10 Beaumont–Orange corridor) runs delinquent tax foreclosure sales online via the Texas Sheriff Sale Auctions platform (orange.texas.sheriffsaleauctions.com), beginning 10:00 a.m. on first-Tuesday statutory windows when inventory posts—typically two to three times per year, advertised three consecutive weeks in the Orange Leader. Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson handles delinquent real-property accounts for the county. Successful bidders generally must pay within 24 hours per platform rules and present an unexpired Tax Assessor-Collector written statement of no delinquent taxes before a deed issues. Sold AS IS, without warranty, subject to statutory redemption (180 days standard; 2 years homestead/ag/mineral with premiums). Trust/strike-off resales may be offered separately by sealed or open bid through the Tax Assessor-Collector.
