Multiple Tax Jurisdictions in Texas

Accurate real estate tax assessments require investigating all relevant taxation bodies. This includes local county offices, city-specific entities, and district-level organizations like Independent School Districts (ISD) and Municipal Utility Districts (MUD). Comprehensive research ensures that no outstanding property tax obligations are overlooked.

Mortgage Assignments and HOA Liens in Texas

Dealing with lender records in Houston can be complex. Mortgage assignments are often indexed under the lender's name, making it challenging to locate specific documents. Prominent financial institutions, such as Wells Fargo and Bank of America, maintain these records, adding to the complexity.

Additionally, some HOA liens in Texas may hold super lien status, which can override existing mortgages unless otherwise detailed in the community's Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCRs).

Understanding Tax Mortgages in Texas

In Texas, tax lien agreements—commonly referred to as Tax Deeds of Trust—take precedence over other financial claims, regardless of recording dates. These agreements involve a third-party provider covering a homeowner's tax obligations, creating a primary lien on the property.
