State sale type
Redeemable Deed
Redemption (state)
2 years from filing of the purchaser's deed for residential homestead, agricultural-use land, and mineral interests; 180 days for all other property.

Statutory terms are inherited from Texas. 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).
