What Happened to Flooded Beaumont Homes After Harvey?

Many were repaired, some more than once, and a few were bought out. In late August 2017, Hurricane Harvey dropped more than 40 inches of rain across Jefferson County, over 64,000 homes in the county flooded, and the northeast side of Beaumont was among the hardest-hit areas ¹. The Neches River at Beaumont crested at a record 19.59 feet on September 1, 2017, more than six feet above its next-highest crest ². Two years later, Tropical Storm Imelda flooded about 5,100 more homes in the county ³.

For homes that kept flooding, one answer was a buyout. In 2020 the Texas General Land Office approved $1,898,364 in Harvey funds for the City of Beaumont to buy out about 13 homes in a floodplain or repetitive flood area ⁴, and $2,651,308.80 for about 20 such homes in Jefferson County ⁵. A buyout is a public program with its own rules. If your house has flooded more than once and a buyout isn't open to you, or you don't want to wait for one, selling it as it stands is another route. Tell us on the call how many times the water came in.

Water Lines, Warped Floors and 1970s Houses: Selling in Beaumont As-Is

The typical Beaumont house has some age on it: the median one was built in 1978, by the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 estimates ⁶. That makes original wiring, older plumbing and a roof near the end of its life common, and a house built before 1978 may have lead-based paint, which a seller discloses under federal law ⁷.

Flood damage doesn't have to be fixed first. If water left a stain line on the walls, swelled the baseboards, cupped the floors or got into the ductwork, you can sell the house that way. Tell us what was torn out and replaced after Harvey or Imelda, and what wasn't; the work done and the work left are both part of the condition we price.

Listing a Beaumont House or Taking Cash: Which Leaves More?

An agent could get more for your Beaumont house than our cash offer, especially if it has been updated and never flooded. A house with a flood history is a harder listing: buyers ask about it, and the repairs their inspectors want come off your side, along with the commission and the months of payments, insurance and utilities while it sits. The Jefferson County figures on this page show how long listings have been taking.

The example below prices a listing at the county's median asking price, Texas title policy included. Set its net beside our written offer, and if the listing wins and you can wait, list.

On a $235,000 sale

Example, not a quote.

Listing with an agent

Sale price: $235,000
Agent commission (5.5% here; it varies): −$12,925
Repairs before listing (example): −$12,000
Owner's title policy (Texas rate, if you pay it): −$1,447
Half the escrow fee, deed preparation and tax certificates (example; title companies vary): −$800
Three months of carrying costs (example): −$4,230
You'd walk away with: $203,598

Comparing a cash offer

In this example, listing would leave you about $203,598 before your mortgage payoff. Compare that with your cash offer, less any closing costs you'd still pay.

Beaumont Owners in a Tight Spot

Most of these start the same way in Beaumont: a house that took water, a bill or a deadline from a Jefferson County office, and not much time. Below is the local part of each one; the statewide law is on our Texas page. None of it is legal advice, so check your own case with a Texas attorney.

Facing foreclosure

In Jefferson County, foreclosure sales are held at the most northerly door of the new addition to the County Courthouse, opposite the main entrance to the County Jail, and sale notices are posted at the addition's west door entrance ⁸. How the Texas notices and the first-Tuesday auction work is on our Texas page. If a sale date is posted, talk to a Texas attorney, then call us.

Inherited a house

Jefferson County probate goes to the County Court, which holds uncontested hearings on Mondays and Wednesdays at 9 a.m. in the Commissioners Courtroom on the courthouse's 4th floor ⁹. The County Clerk is the clerk of that court for probate, at 1085 Pearl Street, (409) 835-8475, option 5 ¹⁰. How a Texas house passes with or without a will is on our Texas page.

Behind on payments

Jefferson County tax bills go out in October, and you have until January 31 to pay; late charges begin February 1 in most cases ¹¹. With an over-65 or disabled homestead exemption, the tax office's quarter-payment plan takes a fourth by January 31 and the rest by March 31, May 31 and July 31 ¹². Tell us what's owed on taxes and the mortgage, so it's in the numbers from the start.

Going through a divorce

The Texas community property and homestead rules for a divorce sale are on our Texas page. In Beaumont, also agree on who handles any open flood insurance claim on the house, and check whose names the Jefferson Central Appraisal District has on the account ¹³. Your divorce attorney can say what the decree allows.

Selling a rental with tenants

Many Beaumont rentals took water in Harvey or Imelda. Tell us on the call what was repaired, what wasn't, and whether the tenant stayed through it; the lease can keep running while you sell. Who owes the tenant's deposit after the sale is on our Texas page.

Moving away or downsizing

Once you have the over-65 homestead exemption here, your school taxes have a ceiling, and Jefferson County grants one too ¹⁴. Moving to another Texas home? Ask the Jefferson Central Appraisal District, 4610 S. 4th Street, (409) 840-9944, about taking the school ceiling with you ¹³. The rule is on our Texas page.

What Beaumont Sellers Want to Know

How soon could you close on my Beaumont house?

In as little as 14 days after you accept our written offer, or on a later date you pick. The title search and your lender's payoff figure usually set the pace; an estate, a buyout application or a tenant can add a step.

Is a cash offer for my Beaumont house going to be lower than a listing?

Usually, for a house in good shape with time to sell. For a house with a flood history, compare what each leaves you after repairs, commission and months of carrying costs.

My Beaumont house flooded in both Harvey and Imelda. Does a buyer have to be told?

In a standard Texas sale, yes: the Seller's Disclosure Notice asks whether you have filed a flood insurance claim or received FEMA or SBA help for flood damage ¹⁵. Tell us about both floods and what was repaired; it's part of the condition your offer is based on.

I applied for a flood buyout. Can I sell my Beaumont house another way?

That's your decision, and you can ask the program where your application stands first. Harvey-funded buyouts are for homeowners in a floodplain or a repetitive flood area who agree to move outside it or to lower flood risk ¹⁶. If you've signed anything with the program, tell us on the call.

Does the City of Beaumont give an over-65 exemption?

Yes. For 2026 the City of Beaumont's rate is $0.682933 per $100 of value, with a $17,500 over-65 exemption; Jefferson County's rate is $0.357, with a 20% homestead exemption and $40,000 more for owners over 65 ¹⁷. In the year you sell, the taxes are split with the buyer as of the closing date ¹⁸.

Can I defer the taxes on my Beaumont house instead of selling?

With the over-65 or disabled homestead exemption, the appraisal district says you may defer delinquent taxes on your home for as long as you own and live in it, with interest added at 5 percent a year ¹⁹. The taxes are still owed. If you have filed a deferral, tell us on the call.

How do I find out whether my Beaumont house is in a flood zone?

Search your address at FEMA's Flood Map Service Center, the official public source for the flood hazard information behind the National Flood Insurance Program ²⁰. The zone doesn't decide whether we'll make an offer. Tell us what you find.

Do you buy houses near Beaumont?

Yes. We also buy houses in Bevil Oaks, Nederland, Port Neches, China and Groves ²¹. If you're not sure, call us.

Texas rules for every sale, from the disclosure notice to the title policy, are on our Texas page.
