Harris County, TX

Harris County conducts live, in-person tax deed sales on the first Tuesday of every month at the Bayou City Event Center. Eight Constable Precincts sell simultaneously, offering hundreds of properties monthly. This guide covers everything: free bidder registration through hctax.net, the multi-precinct auction system, same-day cash/cashier's check payment requirements, and the critical distinction between 2-year homestead and 180-day non-homestead redemption periods. You'll learn about post-judgment taxes (your responsibility beyond the minimum bid), flood zone risks unique to Harris County, how to research properties through HCAD, and the complete timeline from winning bid to recorded deed. No generic Texas advice — just the rules for Harris County.
