Behind on taxes or facing foreclosure in Galveston?
Property in Galveston is appraised by the Galveston Central Appraisal District (GCAD), and Galveston County is a coastal county on the Gulf of Mexico. As the seat of Galveston County, Galveston is where the county courthouse and tax offices sit, so local closings and records are handled right here. In Texas, tax foreclosure sales happen on the first Tuesday of each month and the Galveston County process runs through the county seat in Galveston. If you are behind in Galveston, you generally have until that sale date to sell or pay off what is owed. A residence homestead also carries a two year right of redemption after a tax sale, and other property has six months. We can often close before a sale date and clear the taxes at closing so you walk away clean.
