Distressed property not listed with tax assessor
Good Afternoon,
I'm new to investing and I currently have more time than money. I found a distressed property that looks like an opportunity for a deal by driving for dollars. The only thing is that it is not listed with my Parish(I live in Louisiana so we don't have Counties) Tax Assessor. One of the neighbors I spoke with does not know who owns the house. Can someone point me in another direction here? How can you find out who owns a property when it's not listed with the Tax Assessor?
Thanks,
James

I found the owner! It was put in the tax assessor site with the wrong street name, but I found it using the legal description and an alternate searching method. Thank you all for your help.
