The Tyler-Longview private-lender market
East Texas anchors a piney-woods regional economy centered on Tyler (Smith County) and Longview (Gregg County). The market mixes urban Tyler-area subdivision paper, rural acreage in Anderson, Cherokee, and Henderson counties, and East Texas Oil Patch holdings in Gregg, Rusk, and Upshur. Recreational and timber-land seller-finance paper is common.

Smith County foreclosure sales happen at the Smith County Courthouse, 100 N Broadway Ave, Tyler, TX 75702. Gregg County sales happen at the Gregg County Courthouse in Longview. Surrounding counties (Anderson, Cherokee, Henderson, Rusk, Upshur) hold sales at their respective courthouses. First-Tuesday §51.002 cadence across the region.

Tyler-Longview property tax escrow
East Texas effective property tax rates run roughly 1.6 to 2.1 percent of market value, generally below the Texas average. Timber-land exemptions under Tex. Tax Code §23.71 and following give qualifying tracts a productivity-value assessment well below market value. The §23.55 rollback risk applies if timber land changes to non-timber use.
For the year-in-the-life property-tax calendar (Jan 1 lien date, Jan 31 due, Feb 1 penalty cascade), see our property tax escrow page.
