What do you do when you send out a bill to a customer and it continues to come back saying "unable to forward". The county records show this person owns the house and switchboard.com shows this to be the persons residence. They have no house phone. The address is correct.

I wouldn't be surprised if the homeowner was stamping/marking them unable to forward and sending them back.
However, I sent a bill out once to someone that kept coming back as "Moved - Unable to Forward." I knew the person still lived there and that the address was correct. Come to find out the PO was returning it because they thought the house had been abandoned because the grass had not been cut. So, they never even attempted to deliver it.
It is possible they have moved, but still own the house. Also, it takes months for county records to be updated, and switchboard.com took a year to show my new phone number, so they aren't very up to date, either.
Hand deliver it if you can, and if not, send it certified so they have to sign for it.

They may own the house but maybe they use a post office box instead of their home address. Many people do this. Maybe you need to look up where the tax bill gets sent to and send it to that address instead.

Send it certified mail again, but this time make it a collection letter. If it comes back again, take warrants through the magistrate's office for your county/city.

They've either moved, or don't get mail at that address. Not much you can do unless you want to go knock on their door.
