This topic has come up a few times before -- I have been driving past a
house that looks abandoned but has a bit of a garden and want to
transplant some flowers. There isn't a construction sign or such: is
there
a city government office that could tell me who holds the deed to the
house? I think it must have been a foreclosure or bankruptcy or
something
since I the house hasn't been for sale...

Any ideas?

Depends on where it is. If you know the address, both Wake and Chatham
counties have online property listings. I suspect Durham and Orange do
also. That should show the owner of record and said person's mailing
address for tax purposes.

I suspect that if a bank owns it via foreclosure, they will not be
inclined to let you on the property due to liability issues.

Try the Search button, or just drill down on the map until you get to
the road/lot in question. You can then query ownership from there.

As noted, it only works with Internet Explorer - it won't even let you
try another browser.
