About this article: “Marcus” is TaxLienSimple's educational narrator. First-person stories and dollar examples are illustrative scenarios written to explain real tax-sale concepts, they are not the personal trading history of a specific investor. Rate and legal information is sourced separately to official statutes and government records (see About and each guide's citations).
TL;DR
- →We're launching Upcoming Auctions coverage with 9 verified counties across Georgia and Texas.
- →Both states hold sales on the first Tuesday of the month by statute, the next date is August 4, 2026.
- →This is a pilot: coverage is expanding, and every date is sourced directly from official county pages, not scraped or guessed.
Watch how it works
A narrated walkthrough: find tax liens by county, read the Research Score, risk flags and sources, set your maximum bid and save a Deal Radar.
Read the transcript
If you came here for tax liens, start in Property Research and choose Tax Lien.
Liens without a set sale date sit under Timing not assigned yet. That includes over the counter liens you can buy now, with no auction.
Pick a state and a county. I'll use Maricopa County, Arizona.
Tick Mapped only to see each lien on the map, and switch to aerial imagery to look at the property from above.
Open a lien to see the full research.
The Research Score grades it from A to D, out of one hundred, and shows where the points come from.
Estimated value and confidence gives you a value range, and tells you how far to trust it. It's a starting point, not an appraisal.
Risk flags come up before you buy: whether it's still available, liens that may survive, and a source that may be out of date. Open one to see what to check.
The due diligence checklist shows the lien to value ratio and the back taxes, and what you still need to verify yourself.
Sources and freshness links every fact back to the county's own record.
Then calculate your maximum bid. You get a comfortable range, a caution range, and the price where you should stop.
Back in Research, mark it as a bid candidate, and add private notes that only you can see.
Save your search as a Deal Radar, and new matches come to you by email.
That's tax liens: from a county to a lien worth buying, with every fact sourced to the county.
What's new this week
We just launched the Upcoming Auctions feature, a permanent, sourced page for every county we track, showing the next statutory sale date alongside a direct link to the county's own official listing.
This first edition covers 9 counties: Fulton, Gwinnett, DeKalb, and Chatham in Georgia, and Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, Bexar, and Travis in Texas. All 9 share the same next date, August 4, 2026, because both states hold tax sales on the first Tuesday of the month by statute (Georgia: O.C.G.A. 48-4; Texas: Tax Code Ch. 34, Sec. 34.01), and we verified that rule directly against each county's own government page, not a secondary source.
An important distinction
The date we show is the next date a sale would legally occur, not a confirmed list of properties up for sale that day. Georgia counties genuinely hold a sale most first Tuesdays. Texas counties hold sales on the first Tuesday when they have properties posted, which our own data shows is typically June through November, not guaranteed every month. Every auction page on our site says this explicitly and links to the county's live listing, because that's the only place the real answer lives.

Finding tax lien sales: auctions, OTC, and calendars
Real tax-lien sales are published by the county treasurer or tax collector, not by a marketing calendar, start at the source.
What's next
We're expanding coverage county by county, holding every new entry to the same standard: a primary source we checked ourselves, not an inference. If you want alerts as new states and counties go live, subscribe below, we'll only email when there's something real to report.
