Collusive bidding is not permitted and is punishable as a Class C misdemeanor. COLLUSIVE BIDDING further means to conspire with another party to intentionally rig bids or fix prices to make it difficult or impossible for any other parties to take part in the bidding process. Any bid that was accepted from a bidder discovered to have engaged in collusive bidding is void, and any property acquired through collusive bidding is stricken without cost to the county as if a minimum bid had not been made consistent with § 33.096.
