Purchasing foreclosed properties

Following are the special conditions and instructions regarding property purchases through the City's Real Estate Division:

Written offers

All offers must be in writing and signed by the individual desiring to purchase the subject property and include the following: 
  1. Date.
  2. Location and legal description of parcel.
  3. Dollar amount of offer (in addition to a $40 filing fee).
  4. The exact name to be placed on the deed.
  5. Buyer’s name.
  6. Buyer’s address.
  7. Buyer’s phone numbers (two of them).
  8. Written statement that buyer does not owe any delinquent taxes or fees to the City of San Angelo, Tom Green County or the San Angelo Independent School District.

Earnest money

Each written offer must be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check (on a solvent bank in the state of Texas), drawn to the order of the buyer in the sum of $350. The earnest money shall be made payable without condition to the City of San Angelo and is non-refundable once the offer has been accepted by the Real Estate staff. Monies furnished as “earnest money” will be credited toward the sales price.

Return of earnest money

Earnest money will be retained until Real Estate staff has determined the offer satisfies costs and accepts the written offer. If the offer is not accepted, the earnest money will be returned.  

Subject property

Buyer is responsible for being familiar with the property location and zoning. Property is sold “as is,” subject to all easements, blanket easements, right-of-ways, covenants, and conditions, zoning restrictions, water rights to grantor, and all other restrictions or conditions, including physical conditions.
