All property is sold by the competitive sealed bid process.
The results are also posted on our web page. Surplus property sales are held two to three times a year. Tax Foreclosure sales are held every six to eight weeks. According to the Texas Property Tax Code, the redemption period begins at the date that the Sheriff's Deed conveying the property to the City of Dallas and the other taxing entities is recorded. For non-homestead properties, the period lasts 6 months.
