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? Arwen |

The county Register of Deeds has it. It's a public document, but you may
have to go to the county office to see it. Durham County has it on it's web site: http://www.co.durham.nc.us/ (select "Public Records Databases"). Orange may as well.

html Ordinarily you can go to the nearest house and find out. What often looks abandoned is in reality, not. My aunt has a huge open field next to her house and my uncle frequently made plantings all over the place. More than one person has stopped, gotten out of the car with a big shovel and tried to remove her crepe myrtle bushes while calling them "neglected". That attempt is usually stopped with a shotgun, so my advice would be definitely ask the neighbors. pArwen Long wrote: blockquote TYPE=CITEThis topic has come up a few times before -- I have been driving past a brhouse that looks abandoned but has a bit of a garden and want to brtransplant some flowers.

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. -- Steve Holzworth "Do not attribute to poor spelling That which is actually poor typing..."
