Houston Ad Valorem Tax Foreclosure Law Suits


Ad valorem tax lawsuits are a result of the property owner’s failure to pay his property taxes to the city, county, and/or school district. Most often, the city, county, and/or school district will file one lawsuit against the property owner(s) to recover all delinquent taxes. Anyone who has a legal interest in the subject property should be named in the law suit as a necessary party since any judgment in the suit will likely negatively affect the legal interest holder.

Generally, a law firm hired by the taxing authorities will file the suit against the property owner(s). There may be several plaintiffs in the suit because there are likely several taxing authorities that are owed delinquent taxes. Once the suit is filed, the property owners will be served with the suit. There is a limited time for the property owner to respond to the suit or face default judgment. Once served with a tax suit, it is a good idea to seek legal counsel to learn of your rights and risks associated with the suit. Ad valorem tax delinquency suits have few tenable defenses. That is, there are few reasons for being delinquent on your taxes. While this is generally the case, if served with a tax suit, you should still get legal counsel.

Your property will be sold at an auction to the highest bidder.
