Every conversation is private, no pressure, and without obligation.

Delinquent Property Tax Steps… What It Usually Means

Where are you in the property tax process?

1. Delinquent Property Taxes

Taxes are past due, but the property may not yet be posted for tax sale.

2. Tax Pre-Foreclosure

An attorney notice, tax lawsuit, judgment, or order of sale may already be underway. Timing matters more at this stage.

3. Tax Sale Posted

If an auction date is already posted, there may be very little time to sell your property before the auction.

4. After Tax Sale

Redemption rights or requesting surplus funds may be an option after the tax foreclosure sale.

Delinquent Property Taxes Can Grow Quickly

Many Texas property owners wait because they hope to catch up later, sell later, refinance later, or work something out before the situation gets worse. The problem is that the mounting amounts needed to resolve the tax issue limits available options.

If you own a house, lot, land, rental, inherited property, or other real estate with delinquent taxes, Love Investors can buy the property quickly as a possible path forward before:

  • Penalties and interest start to accrue
  • Collection costs and attorney fees increase the balance
  • A tax lawsuit is pursued
  • A judgment is rendered
  • The property is ordered for sale

The closer the property gets to tax auction, the fewer options may be available.

Need To Check Your Current Property Tax Balance?

Many Texas counties allow property owners to look up property tax balances online by address, owner name, or account number. These official county tax office links can be a helpful starting point, but the balance shown online may not include every legal, title, court, or closing-related issue.

After checking your balance, you can still contact Love Investors to review whether a direct sale may be possible.

Tip: If your county is not listed, search for your county tax assessor-collector website.

Facing Property Tax Foreclosure Or A Tax Sale?

If the tax issue has moved beyond a past-due bill, timing becomes much more important. A tax foreclosure situation may involve collection notices, attorney involvement, a tax lawsuit, a judgment, an order of sale, or a scheduled auction date.

If your property has already been posted for tax sale, do not wait until the last minute.

Take Action Now

  • Tax sale timelines can move fast.
  • Acting ASAP usually creates more options.
  • Title issues can take time.
  • If you delay, closing before the sale date may not be possible.

After A Texas Tax Sale: Redemption Rights And Surplus Funds

Even after a property tax foreclosure sale, you still have rights.

Redemption Rights

In some Texas tax sale situations, the former owner may have redemption rights after the sale. The redemption period depends on whether the property was a homestead, agricultural-use property, mineral interest, or another type of real property.

Surplus Funds

In some cases, a tax sale may generate money over the amount needed to satisfy the tax judgment, court costs, and related charges. Those funds may be held through the court process and and need to be requested by the proper parties.

Love Investors may also be able to help you retrieve those funds.

If the property has already sold at tax sale, act quickly. Redemption and surplus-fund issues can involve strict deadlines, court filings, and legal requirements. We do not guarantee redemption, surplus recovery, or any legal result.

Frequently Asked Questions About Delinquent Property Taxes And Property Tax Foreclosure In Texas

Quick answers for Texas property owners dealing with delinquent taxes, tax sale pressure, redemption rights, or possible surplus funds.

Q: Can I sell a property if I am behind on property taxes in Texas?

A: In many situations, yes. Love Investors can purchase property with a delinquent tax balance, liens, ownership issues, and needed repairs.

Q: Can I sell inherited property with delinquent taxes?

A: Possibly. Inherited property can be more complicated because heirs, probate, affidavits of heirship, title issues, and unpaid taxes may all affect the sale. Love Investors can look at the situation and discuss whether a direct purchase may be possible.

Q: What if my property has already been posted for tax sale?

A: Timing matters. If a tax sale date is already scheduled, it is important to act quickly. We can assess the property and timeline, but we cannot guarantee that a sale can be completed before the tax sale.

Q: Can I still have rights after a Texas tax foreclosure sale?

A: In some Texas tax sale situations, a former owner may have redemption rights after the sale.

Q: Do I have to pay the delinquent taxes before selling?

A: A: Not always. You can contact Love Investors before the taxes are resolved. If a direct purchase makes sense, the tax balance and title issues can usually be handled through the closing process.

Q: Can Love Investors help with surplus funds after a tax sale?

A: Yes. er

Q: What if there are other liens besides property taxes?

A: Other liens may affect the sale, but they do not always stop a sale from happening. Mortgages, HOA liens, judgments, IRS liens, municipal liens, and other title issues may need to be handled through the title company or appropriate professionals.

Q: What information should I have ready when I contact Love Investors?

A: Start with the property address. Helpful details include the county, tax account number, estimated tax balance, any letters from a tax attorney or court, whether a sale date is posted, and whether the property is occupied, vacant, inherited, or land only.

Q: Is there any obligation if I contact you?

A: No. Contacting Love Investors does not obligate you to sell. The conversation is private, no pressure, and designed to help you understand whether a direct sale may make sense.
