What survives this sale

HOA/POA liens can survive a Texas tax sale if the association recorded its lien and was not properly joined/notified in the foreclosure suit. Federal tax liens survive (IRS rights). Always search deed records for association and municipal liens before bidding.

Areas trending up

Near Southside / Medical District (Fort Worth) — Hospital employment base and adaptive-reuse multifamily continue to support urban Fort Worth absorption into 2026
Alliance / North Fort Worth — Logistics and employment-node growth along I-35W keeps housing demand elevated versus softer outer rings
Arlington / Grand Prairie corridor — Mid-cities job access and relative value versus core Fort Worth/Dallas price points

Notes

Redeemable deed. In-person constable tax sales (Constable Precinct 3 posts the delinquent tax sale lists). Not bank/mortgage foreclosure sales. Buyer-beware; research liens via TAD and deed records before bidding.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — Texas requires appraisal at 100% of market value as of Jan 1 (Tex. Tax Code § 23.01).
