Court approves marketing contract to sell long‑unsold tax‑delinquent properties at no county cost
Summary
Commissioners approved a contract with Texas Communities Group to advertise and assist the sale of strikeout (tax‑delinquent) properties; county staff said the program carries no direct cost to the county and fees are passed to buyers.
The commissioners approved a contract with Texas Communities Group to market and assist in the sale of strikeout tax‑delinquent properties.
County staff explained the program as a no‑cost service to the county: advertising and transaction support are performed by the contractor and any fees are passed to the buyer rather than borne by the county. The county judge described the program as a way to move long‑unsold properties back onto the tax rolls after recent successful tax‑sale results.
The court moved, seconded, and approved the contract by voice vote. Staff said the program will be used to market properties that failed to sell at tax sales and to increase recovery on delinquent parcels.
