Title companies generally require quiet title after redemption expires before insuring free-and-clear marketable title.
Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — Texas requires appraisal at 100% of market value as of Jan 1 (Tex. Tax Code § 23.01). Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
Texas redeemable tax deed (Tax Code Ch. 34). Bell CAD collects for taxing units and publishes tax-sale rules; sales are in-person at the Bell County Justice Complex (Clerk’s alcove east of main entrance, 1201 Huey Dr, Belton) beginning 10:00 a.m. on first Tuesday sale days — about 4–5 tax sales per year (not every month). Bid sheets via MVBA law firm (mvbalaw.com) ~3 weeks prior. Sheriff’s deed without warranty; statutory redemption (homestead/ag 2 years; other ~180 days from deed recording).
Inherited from Texas rather than researched for Bell: type, redemption, returns, statute.
