Dallas County is one of the few Texas counties that conducts tax sales fully online through Real Auction (dallas.texas.sheriffsaleauctions.com). No need to be physically present to bid — but you do need to obtain the Written Statement in person.
This guide walks you through the complete process: obtaining your notarized Written Statement at 500 Elm Street, the 2-business-day fax deadline to the Sheriff's Office, online bidding mechanics, and wire-transfer-only payment requirements.
You'll learn about struck-off property sealed-bid resales through Public Works, how to research properties through DCAD, the $30 deed fee, and the redemption premium strategy that some investors use for guaranteed 25-50% returns. Dallas County-specific timelines, contacts, and legal references included.
