In San Jacinto, bidders will register on the morning of the tax sale at the tax office prior to the 10:00 a.m. commencement time. Bidders will be required to present a photo i.d. to register and will receive a bidder number card. Successful bidders will tender winning bid amounts and any additional “subject to” tax amounts no later than 3:00 P.M. April 5, 2016 to allow time for processing after the completion of the sale, payable by cash, check or money order.
To obtain a written statement of “no taxes due” from the tax assessor-collector following the sale, winning bidders will submit a signed notarized application (attached and also available at the tax office) along with $10 processing fee payable in cash or money order. A notary will be available. The statement must be issued in the name of the requestor/bidder, bear the requestor’s/bidder’s name, include the dates of issuance and expiration, and be eligible for recording under Section 12.001(b), Property Code. A statement expires on the 90th day after the date of issuance. Upon approval of the application, a constable’s deed will be executed in the name of the successful bidder (requestor) and recorded in the land records of the County Clerk. The Clerk will forward the original recorded deed to the purchaser.
If within six (6) months of the date of sale, the successful bidder does not exhibit to the officer who conducted the sale an unexpired statement, the officer shall provide a copy of the officer’s return to the county assessor-collector for each county in which the real property is located. The county assessor-collector shall file the copy with the county clerk of the county in which the assessor-collector serves. The county clerk shall record the return and shall index and cross index the return in the name of the successful bidder at the auction and each former owner of the property.
The limitations period for the former owner’s right of redemption does not begin until the date on which the purchaser’s deed is filed of record. A delay in providing the requisite statement may extend the owner’s right of redemption.
A person who knowingly violates the requirements of Section 34.015 of the Texas Property Tax Code commits an offense that is a Class B misdemeanor. A winning bidder who fails to tender the required sale amounts is liable to pay the plaintiff in execution twenty (20) per cent (%) on the value of the property bid off under TRCP 652.
