Travis County held its final in-person foreclosure auction on May 7. Starting in June, it will host these sales online, according to an announcement.
County leaders said moving the auctions online will be good for bidders and the county’s bottom line.
“People won’t have to physically come down to the steps of the courthouse to bid on properties. And people from literally all over the world can register to be a bidder and bid on properties. And we expect that we will be doing a favor for Travis County because we will be collecting more of the money that’s owed,” said Travis County Tax Assessor-Collector Bruce Elfant.
