on the What is a Tax Sale? 

The Kaufman County Sheriff's Office Tax Sales have moved out of the courtroom, and onto the internet. In Kaufman County, properties with taxes due are sold at public auction to the highest bidder. Bidding starts at taxes due plus interest and penalties and other expenses incurred in making the sale. The lien on the property then passes to the tax sale purchaser, who is issued a tax sale certificate that is valid for two years, unless the property is redeemed.

When are the online Tax Sales held?

Online Tax Sales are held on the first Tuesday of every month if there is property to sell starting at 10 a.m. If there are no properties to sell at this time there will not be a sale on those Tuesdays. Once interested bidders log in, they can view property for sale if there is any in Kaufman County.
