Flat redemption premium (not annual interest): 25% of the total if redeemed in year 1, 50% if redeemed in year 2, for homestead/agricultural/mineral property; 25% flat for other property redeemed within the 180-day window. Premium applies regardless of how early redemption occurs.

Statutory terms are inherited from Texas via Jefferson County. Flat redemption premium (not annual interest): 25% of the total if redeemed in year 1, 50% if redeemed in year 2, for homestead/agricultural/mineral property; 25% flat for other property redeemed within the 180-day window. Premium applies regardless of how early redemption occurs. Purchaser gets a deed at the sale but the former owner can redeem; the 25%/50% figures are one-time penalties on the total, not per-annum rates, and redemption length depends on property class (Tax Code §34.21).

Read this correctly. "PORT ARTHUR" reflects the situs city recorded on each parcel, not a formal city-level tax-sale jurisdiction — most tax sales are administered at the county level. The TaxLienSimple Index is a 0–100 research guide built from statutory terms and the inventory we track — not a yield, a guarantee, or investment advice. Realized returns depend on competition, redemption and your own due diligence. Verify every figure with the county before bidding.
