Throckmorton County tax sales

Verified

Throckmorton County (county seat Throckmorton) sells tax foreclosed property in person. The Sheriff or Constable of Throckmorton County, as printed in the county's historical sale lists. The lists are published through Perdue, Brandon, Fielder, Collins and Mott, L.L.P. and hosted on the appraisal district's own site, with enquiries to the firm's Wichita Falls office at 940-723-4323. The county Tax Assessor-Collector is Glen Whitfield, 105 N. Minter Ave., Throckmorton, phone 940-849-8855. The Comptroller directory adds that this tax office does not collect property taxes, so the appraisal district may be the collector. The appraisal district is the Throckmorton Central Appraisal District, 144 N. Minter Ave., Throckmorton.

Venue or platform: In person at the East Door of the Courthouse in Throckmorton, as printed in both the June 6, 2023 and February 1, 2022 sale lists hosted on the appraisal district site. No online platform is stated in either list. Those lists are historical, so treat the venue as the place those sales used, not a promise for a future sale.

Next sale: No current dated sale published. The most recent dated sale list for Throckmorton County covers Tuesday, June 6, 2023, at the East Door of the Courthouse at 2:00 p.m. Its four items include two tracts marked pulled before the sale and two royalty interest items, so nothing on that list is presented as sold or available. An earlier list covers February 1, 2022 at the same door and time. No later dated list is published, and Throckmorton County does not appear on the MVBA December 2026 tax sales list.

The June 6, 2023 list carries four items. No current sale parcel count is published on the official sources.

Research Throckmorton County parcels before you bid

A sale list gives you the parcels, the date, and the opening terms. It does not give you the owner, the value, or the rest of the picture: liens, foreclosure status, and parcel history. PropertyRadar is the data platform for that layer. It carries owner records, assessed and market values, foreclosure and tax data, and property history for parcels across Throckmorton County, searchable by address, owner, or county, including parcels that never reach a sale list.

How Texas tax sales work

A taxing unit sues, and the court orders the sale. Delinquent taxes become a lien; a taxing unit (county, city, school district) sues to foreclose it, or the property is seized under a tax warrant. The sheriff or a constable conducts the sale.
The sale is the first Tuesday of the month. By statute (Tax Code Section 34.01), a sale runs between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM on the first Tuesday, at the courthouse or the place the commissioners court has designated. If the first Tuesday is January 1 or July 4, it moves to the first Wednesday. A county authorized for online sales runs them on the same day, closing at 4:00 PM.
The minimum bid is set by the judgment. A property cannot sell for less than the lesser of the total amount due under the judgment (taxes, penalties, interest, other judgment amounts, court costs and the costs of sale) or the adjudged value the judgment states (Section 34.01(j)).
You prove you owe no delinquent taxes before you get a deed. The officer cannot deliver a deed until the buyer exhibits a written statement from the county tax assessor-collector showing no delinquent taxes owed to the county, or to the school districts and municipalities inside it (Section 34.015). The statement costs no more than $10 and expires after 90 days. Some counties run a registration system instead (Section 34.011), where bidders register with the assessor-collector before the sale begins; Harris County on this page set is one.
The deed vests the defendant's interest, with no warranty. The officer prepares the deed (Section 34.01(m)). It vests the interest the defendant owned, subject only to the redemption right below, certain restrictive covenants and liens recorded before January 1 of the lien year, and valid easements of record (Section 34.01(n)). The tax liens included in the judgment are extinguished by the sale.
Texas is a redeemable deed state. If the property was a residence homestead, land designated for agricultural use, or a mineral interest, the former owner has two years from the date the purchaser's deed is filed for record to redeem, paying the bid, the recording fee, and what the purchaser paid in taxes, penalties, interest and costs, plus a premium of 25 percent of that total in the first year or 50 percent in the second (Section 34.21). Every other property carries a 180 day redemption period with a premium of up to 25 percent. During the redemption period the buyer has no right to use the property or collect rents.
What does not sell is struck off, then resold. If no bid reaches the minimum, the officer bids the property off to the taxing unit that brought the suit, for itself and the other taxing units in it (Section 34.01(j)). That unit may resell at any time by public or private sale (Section 34.05): a public resale can go for any amount, and a private sale must meet a floor, the lesser of the judgment market value or the total judgments, unless every taxing unit entitled to proceeds consents to less.

How registration works in Throckmorton County

NOT PUBLISHED. Neither historical list states a bidder registration rule. The statewide rules in the shared block below also apply to any sale in this county.

The deed names the registered bidder. Register in the name that should hold title; an officer cannot deliver a deed to someone other than the successful bidder.
The statement expires. A Section 34.015 statement is good for 90 days from issuance. A monthly bidder keeps it current rather than re-requesting it in sale week.

Terms: what a bid actually costs

Payment, Throckmorton County	NOT PUBLISHED as a payment method. The historical lists publish per tract minimum bids and note that taxes may be due beyond the minimum bid amounts and must be paid independently of the bid amount. No cash term is stated in either list, and none is imported from any other county.
Deposit, Throckmorton County	NOT PUBLISHED. Neither historical list states a bidder deposit as a separate term, and the Texas Tax Code sets no deposit.
Minimum bid (state law)	The property cannot be sold for less than the lesser of the total amount due under the judgment (taxes, penalties, interest, other judgment amounts, court costs and the costs of sale) or the adjudged value stated in the judgment (Tax Code Section 34.01(j)). A different floor can apply to a bidder who owns an interest in the property or was a party to the suit.
Redemption: homestead, agricultural, mineral	Two years from the date the purchaser's deed is filed for record. The former owner redeems by paying the bid amount, the deed recording fee, and the taxes, penalties, interest and costs the purchaser paid, plus a premium of 25 percent of that total in the first year or 50 percent in the second (Section 34.21). While the period runs, the buyer has no right to use the property or collect rents.
Redemption: all other property	180 days from the date the purchaser's deed is filed for record, on the same payment terms, with a premium of up to 25 percent (Section 34.21).
Deed and title	The officer prepares a deed to the purchaser (Section 34.01(m)). It vests the interest the defendant owned, subject only to the redemption right, certain restrictive covenants and liens recorded before January 1 of the lien year, and valid easements of record (Section 34.01(n)). It is not a warranty deed, and the tax liens included in the judgment are extinguished by the sale.
Excess proceeds	If a property sells for more than the judgment, the excess is distributed under Section 34.02 and paid into the court for the former owner to claim. It is not the buyer's money and it is not a discount on the bid.

Struck off and tax resales: the leftover list

When a Throckmorton County property draws no bid at or above the minimum, the officer bids it off to the taxing unit that brought the suit. That unit holds it in trust for the other taxing units and may resell it at any time, by public or private sale, under Tax Code Section 34.05. Public resales can go for any amount; a private sale must meet the statutory floor unless every taxing unit entitled to proceeds consents to less. Resale deeds remain subject to any redemption period still running, priced from the taxing unit's own deed date. NOT PUBLISHED. No official Throckmorton County source publishes a struck off list or a resale channel apart from the historical sale lists above.

Before you bid

Check the list in sale week and again on sale morning. Owners pay, courts stay sales, and officers withdraw properties right up to the start. A list you researched last week is not the list that sells.
Price the redemption period, not just the bid. On a homestead, agricultural or mineral parcel the former owner can redeem for two years from the deed recording date and you cannot use the property or collect rents meanwhile. The premium (25 percent in year one, 50 percent in year two) is the compensation if it happens. Bid like the wait is real.
The deed carries no warranty. What the defendant owned is what you get, subject to the recorded easements and covenants the statute preserves. Liens outside the judgment, access, zoning and condition are the buyer's homework, and buyers who need marketable title plan title work after the redemption period runs.
