About this article: “Marcus” is TaxLienSimple's educational narrator.

Rate and legal information is sourced separately to official statutes and government records (see About and each guide's citations).

Watch how it works

A narrated walkthrough: find scheduled tax deed sales, check value, risk flags and a rehab and flip analysis, then shortlist properties to bid on.

Read the transcript

Buying the property itself? In Property Research, choose Tax Deed.

Pick your state and county. Here it's Harris County, Texas, where sales are already scheduled.

Set a price range you're comfortable with, and tick Mapped only.

Open a property.

Start with the Research Score, then the estimated value range, and how confident that estimate is.

Then the risk flags. In a deed sale, liens that survive the sale and a structure we couldn't confirm matter most.

Run the rehab and flip analysis to see what's left after repairs, holding costs, and selling.

Back on the property, download the parcel report as a PDF, to keep with your notes.

Watch the property and mark it as a bid candidate. Tick Saved only at any time to see your shortlist.

That's tax deeds: from a county to a property you're ready to bid on.

Indiana Dominates the Calendar

Six of the eight verified sales in this window are in Indiana, and they cluster tightly. Franklin and Grant counties hold sales on October 26. Bartholomew, Crawford and Howard counties follow on October 27, and Ripley County on October 28. If you are tracking Indiana tax liens, this is a concentrated stretch. You will need to prepare for multiple sales in a short time, and you should confirm each county's registration and deposit requirements well before the date.

Broward County's New Platform

Broward County, Florida holds a tax deed sale on October 26, 2026. This is the first sale on the new RealAuction platform. If you have bid in Broward before, expect a different interface and possibly different registration steps. Verify your account and any deposit requirements early. The statutory date is October 26, so the sale is confirmed by the county.

Illinois Closes the Window

St. Clair County, Illinois holds a tax sale on November 2, 2026. That is the only Illinois sale in this period and the last of the eight. If you are working across state lines, you have a week between the Indiana and Florida sales and this one. Use that time to review the Illinois sale rules, which differ from Indiana and Florida in how liens are sold and redeemed.
