How do you find out who the owner of an abandoned building or house is?

Get an idea of what the legal description of the property is; just going to the clerks office without some type of description of the property won't accomplish a thing as they won't be able to locate a deed.

Start with the tax assessor; they can take the address or location of the property, and give you a legal description. the owner currently of record paying taxes if they are being paid and usually the last recorded deed transfer.

Take that info to the clerk's office and they can help you locate the current owner of record.

County Treasurer's office. Check the assessment record.

You can usually go to your county clerk's web site and most will allow to look on-line. Some county's don't though. If your's doesn't you can try the web site of the County's Appraisal District and if that doesn't work, then you just have to go down to the county clerk's office at the courthouse. But it is public information, so you just have to know where to look.

Alot of counties list that type of information online with the county assessors office.

If you are in the US, you might be able to check on your county auditor's website. The last two states we lived in had all the information listed on the county auditor's websites--address, owner, sales price, sales date, pictures of the house, square footage, number of rooms, everything.
