What to do when you cant find property records?

[Stephen Menches]

So here is the back story.

I'm using the county tax assessor site to do background on a house that looks abandoned or at least unloved. I drive past it everyday on my way home from work, but never see cars there etc. Basically I'm telling you that this house is not a figment of my imagination.

So here's the thing...

I can't seem to find any records that the address exists. I've pulled up the entire streets worth of addresses on the tax assessor site, clicked through each one and cant match the physical address. Nothing comes up when I google it, I cant find any record of sale or ownership through the real estate websites. Nothing...

Has anyone encountered something like this before? As a newbie I'm stumped, but think I could be on to something.

If anyone has any guidance or suggestions I am all ears! (well eyes since I'll be reading your comment, but you know what I mean)

Thanks!

Check the adjoining addresses. It may be two houses, with two different addresses on the mailbox, on one parcel with the "official" address being the other house. I had one. Also it could be a "confidential" record, policeman, city official, etc. A call to the tax accessor's office will probably solve the mystery.
