Behind on taxes or facing foreclosure in Baytown?
Property in Baytown is appraised by the Harris Central Appraisal District (HCAD), and Harris County is the most populous county in Texas. In Texas, tax foreclosure sales happen on the first Tuesday of each month and the Harris County process runs through the county seat in Houston. If you are behind in Baytown, 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.
