Abandoned House

Hi DG Family,

I came across an empty house, found the owner, sent a letter. She called me the day she got my letter. She told me that the house was foreclosed on in 2010. Do anyone have any advise on what my next step should be? I found her information by going to the county website.

Look up county records

If the house was foreclosed, then it's either owned by the bank or someone bought it at the trustee auction. Look up the city tax records to see where they mail the tax bill or see what documents are recorded at the county assessors website to find the current owner.

County website

I just realized that you said you found the (previous) owner's information by going to the county website. Maybe the bank is sitting on the property. Time to do some more digging.

Do you know for certain that it foreclosed? Is it on record that it went back to the bank?
