Sell your Sansom Park house as-is

Property tax on a Sansom Park house

Sansom Park is a Tarrant County city of 5,419 people as of July 1, 2025, according to the Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 estimates (Census city and town tables). The City of Sansom Park appears on the Tarrant County Tax Assessor-Collector's list of taxing entities and rates. The Tarrant Appraisal District appraises each parcel and takes homestead exemption filings, and a value protest goes to the appraisal review board (Tax Code 41.44(a)).

If a tax account falls behind, the county's property tax page carries a notice about text messages from the law firm Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson. It says the Tarrant County Tax Office does not contract with Linebarger; instead, each entity, whether city, county or school, contracts with a delinquent attorney to collect delinquent accounts. The notice gives Linebarger's number as 817-877-4589, with Spanish help at 210-368-5325. The same page says it costs nothing to apply for exemptions through the appraisal district, mentions a Texas Attorney General alert on misleading tax exemption offers, and asks owners to contact the office before paying a third party for help. When you plan a sale, ask each office on your statement for a payoff figure.

Foreclosure and tax sales in Tarrant County

The County Clerk's foreclosures page explains that Texas is a non-judicial foreclosure state. Substitute trustee sales are held on the first Tuesday of every month at the base of the courthouse steps on the west side of 100 West Weatherford Street. The trustee conducts mortgage sales; for tax sales, the page names the Constable's personnel from Precinct 3 (Southlake).

• Notices must be posted 21 days before the sale and can be viewed at any hour on the county's Official Record Search site, or on public terminals in Rooms B-20 and B-30 in the Old Courthouse basement.
• Copies are also posted on a bulletin board at the east end of the Old Courthouse basement. The clerk does not compile a list, and single notices print from the Deed Records terminals for $1 per page.
• The notices are not permanent records, and each month's file is destroyed the day after the sale.

For a debtor's residence, Property Code 51.002 requires the servicer to give at least 20 days to cure a default before notice of sale can be given. Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas lists a Fort Worth office at 600 East Weatherford St. that offers legal help for people who qualify. Read selling a house to stop foreclosure.

Renting out the house instead

Property Code 24.0041 says an eviction suit is filed in the justice precinct where the property is located. Tarrant County has eight justice courts with a $20,000 civil limit, and its justice of the peace courts page links a Justice Precincts Map and a lookup for finding your precinct. The page calls the justice court the People's Court and says it is a trial court for civil cases and many kinds of misdemeanor criminal cases.
