Tax sales
Texas does not sell tax liens, so Brazos County sells the property itself after a tax lawsuit and judgment.

Foreclosure sales
Mortgage foreclosures in Brazos County are trustee sales held on the first Tuesday of each month at the Brazos County Courthouse area in Bryan designated by the Commissioners Court, at the time stated in each notice. Notices must be filed with the County Clerk and posted at least 21 days before the sale.
Assessed values
The Brazos Central Appraisal District sets property values every year as of January 1.
Transfer tax

Worth knowing
College Station, home of Texas A&M University, and the county seat of Bryan form one metro area with a large student rental market.
Worth knowing
