Personal Property
Constable sales for personal property are held at least ten days from the
date of posting after the property is seized. Sales of personal property
are usually conducted Monday through Friday. The Notices of Sale on
personal property are posted at the sub-courthouses
in Farmersville, Plano and Frisco, at the new Collin County
Courthouse located at 2100 Bloomdale Rd, McKinney, Texas, on the
Constable Sale website, and at the place of sale and/or storage as
applicable.
The sales for personal property are normally conducted at the place of
storage. Place of sale is indicated on the Notice of Sale.
Requirements at personal property sale are that the purchaser must be
present to bid (no sales by phone or advance bidding), and property is
sold to highest bidder, cash in hand. Purchaser must make arrangements
with storage facility for pickup of the purchased property. In most
cases the personal property may be viewed on sale date, prior to the
sale.
Real Property
The real property up for sale is listed as Constable Sale and may be sold
for two reasons:
- Tax Sale for collection of back property taxes owed.
- Sale under Writ of Execution or Order of Sale to satisfy a judgment
awarded to the Plaintiff.
The following rules apply to those types of sales. You must carefully
read this information and evaluate these facts in light of your
anticipated use of the property. Any property may be withdrawn from the
sale at any time prior to acceptance of the final bid at auction.
- The property will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder,
cash in hand, based on oral bids. Rules governing auctions will
apply.
- For Tax Sales, cash in hand will mean at least minimum bid as stated
on Notice of Sale with balance, if any, due immediately. NO REFUNDS.
- Payment will be made payable to Collin County Constable Pct. 2 and
be by cashier's check, money order, or cash. No letter of credit
will be accepted.
- All sales are as is, to the highest bidder on a "Buyer Beware
Basis". Any and all questions concerning the property offered should
be directed to an attorney. THE CONSTABLE'S OFFICE WILL NOT ANSWER
LEGAL QUESTIONS.
- It is necessary that bidders satisfy themselves concerning the
status of the property and the location and condition of the
property prior to sale by checking with the Collin County Clerk's
Office/land deed records located at the Admin Building, 2300
Bloomdale Rd., McKinney, Texas. All lawsuit information pertaining
to each sale may be reviewed at the respective Clerk's Office or
Justice of the Peace Office. The court with jurisdiction and cause
number are noted on the Notice of Constable Sale.

Tax Information
A person purchasing property at Tax Sale MUST present to the officer who
conducted the sale an unexpired written statement from the County Tax
Assessor/Collector that the purchaser does not owe any delinquent taxes
to the County or any school district or city in the County. The written
statement will be issued by the County Tax Assessor/Collector. The
purchaser will not receive a deed to the property until the written
statement is presented to the officer. (Pursuant to Section 33.015,
Texas Property Tax Code.)
There may be additional taxes due on the property that have accrued since
the judgment was rendered. Any successful bidder who fails to pay
additional taxes will be held liable for twenty percent of the value of
the property plus costs incurred as a result of the bidder's default.
(Pursuant to Rule 652, Texas Rules of Civil Procedure.)
Purchasers at the sale will receive a Constable's Deed, which is without
warranty, expressed or implied. This is NOT a Tax Lien Certificate. The
real property is sold. There is no Tax Lien Certificate Sale in Collin
County. A policy of title insurance may be difficult to obtain.
All tax property purchased at the sale is subject to a statutory right of
redemption. This redemption period commences from the date the deed is
filed for record with the County Clerk. The purchaser is responsible for
filing the deed. Purchaser has a right to possession during the
redemption period. There is a two year right of redemption for homestead
property and property appraised as agricultural land. There is a 180 day
right of redemption for all other property. Collin County makes no
reservations as to which redemption period applies to any property
offered at sale.
A person having an ownership interest in the property at the time of the
sale may have a right to redeem the property from the purchaser during
the redemption period. (Pursuant to Section 34.21 of the Texas Property
Tax Code.)
