Contacting Owners of abandoned and beat up homes

Contacting Owners of abandoned and beat up homes

My Partner and I have been driving for dollars in Utah and Salt Lake county and we have come across some homes that look to be abandoned or are in need of repair. I have found the homes on the county records and i know who owns them but I have no idea how to contact the owners directly. Does anyone know a way to get their contact information or a way that I am able to contact them through the county? Much appreciated!

    In utahcounty.gov/landrecords you go to the screen that says property information.  You should see at least 1 picture of the property as well as info like serial number, property address, and mailing address.  If property address and mailing address are different then you want to mail something to the mailing address.

    Under owner names it will show a chain of title with the most recent owner on top.  Then do a white pages search for the owner name at the mailing address and you might get a phone number.  It's a lot harder to get a phone number since most people have cell phones and it isn't listed.  Still, worth a try.
