A: Off the appropriate website for the county where the property is listed for sale.

For example, Dallas County's website for properties posted for tax foreclosure sales is:

A: To find listings of properties, homes, or businesses being seized for back taxes in Texas, you can start by checking with the county tax assessor's office or the county sheriff's office in the specific county you're interested in. Many counties publish these listings on their official websites, where they often post notices of tax lien sales or foreclosure auctions.

Another option is to visit the Texas Comptroller's website, which provides information on tax sales and auctions for properties across the state. The Comptroller’s site also offers links to county resources and auction dates.

Additionally, some newspapers may publish foreclosure listings or notices of public auctions. You can check the classifieds section or visit the website of local newspapers in the county where the property is located. This will give you a range of options to explore properties that might be available.
