Texas Sheriff Sales on the First Tuesday
Texas holds its sheriff tax sales on the first Tuesday of the month, which is October 6, 2026. Three counties have verified sales that day: Wise, Denton, and Wichita. The GovEase listings name the October sale for each. These are sheriff sales, so the process and redemption rules differ from Indiana's tax lien sales. If you are researching Texas, note that all three occur on the same day, so you will need to prioritize or arrange representation if you want to participate in more than one.
Pennsylvania Repository Sale
Monroe County, Pennsylvania, holds a repository sale on October 14, 2026, on Bid4Assets. Repository parcels are those that went unsold at earlier upset and judicial sales. This is a different inventory than a typical upset sale, and the bidding happens online. If you are looking for Pennsylvania opportunities, this is the only one in the current 21-day window.
