Ok, found a piece of property that I would really like to purchase, or acquire. Judging by the looks of the house that is on this property, it is not inhabitable and I believe even abandoned. The house has the door off,and curiosity made me go inside. It is now 2006 and I found newspapers dated 1987 and a pre-70s phone was there as well. How can I get this property? Or find out its status other then contacting a real estate agent. Is there a web site for a tax assessor? What is a good source to find abandoned property?

I found a similar property, I went to the city. They told me they couldn't help. I tried to contact the county and was told, I needed the legal description. I finally called a local Realtor, they said they couldn't help either. Stymied, I waited a month, only to find out the Realtors son bought the property two weeks earlier. So you are smarter than I was. I now know you can take the street address to the county assessor and they can tell you who last paid taxes on it, Good luck

Go to your local courthouse. Speak to someone in the tax collector or circuit clerk's office and ask about the specific property. You will be able to find out who owns it and if taxes are owed. Those two items are publicly accessible by anyone.

It's public records. Go to the county building in that area and ask for the clerks office. Check with them to see if taxes have been paid by anybody. Good luck!!
