Here in Indiana you get a Platt book (generally from the county extension office in the courthouse) shows all property lines and owners. Then you either call them (harder now without phone books and landlines) or find their residence and pay them a visit.
Try to find the web site for the county GIS and it might also give you that information. It would not cost anything that way. Or if nothing else, start knocking on doors close by and someone should know who owns it.
I think most of the county assessors are online now, property owners listed. I can help if your need it.
Out here it’s pretty much the same. Tax maps available at the town hall website. Mostly just a link to a different site these days as they sub it all out now. So start with the town hall website. Get under the tax department and look for maps.
Well..... It doesn't look good for you. I mean with that makeshift gate right there, I think someone is keeping others away from it. Too bad.
Just right there or does it look like they are clearing along power lines. There's a few surveyor tapes which are used for a number of reasons. Sometimes the company contracted to remove growth shreds it all, sometimes they haul it out and that's if the property owner doesn't want any of it. Looks like whoever is doing the work isn't finished. Kinda looks like the shredded branches are being left behind rather than hauled off too. Which is what they do along highways here - just blow the chips into the woods without making heaps.
It looks to me like the county is widening the road to do work on a bridge by that creek. But I’m not sure. Looked up the owner and the address is in another town with just a p.o. box.
Ugg. Idk, google the name or maybe see if you can find a phone number for a neighbor? Heck, maybe even a call to the county?
Looks like they are working on the power lines try onxhunt free app will give you property owners etc
If you are close by see if you can catch whoever is doing the cutting and ask them. Mebbe they are cutting back from the wires/road? Connecticut did this along a lot of the interstates after IRENE and the 2011 Nor'easter. Trees cut way back from the shoulder. Wood was all over the place but almost impossible to get. Nice score if you can get the wood!
Back about 20 years ago, the county widened a section of ROW here with the trees left laying there. Limbed and sectioned, I couldn't drive past them without wondering. I stopped by the county offices and to find out about the wood and the supervisor said "Sure.....take them. You're the only one who asked about them". The office of the supervisor is in the courthouse around these parts, don't know about where you are? Hope that's the case-Good luck!
Check out the app Land Glide. It gives you plat book info using google maps like software. It has a short free trial, then it is like $10 month. If it would have been free or a one time fee it may have been worth it, but at $10 month it was too costly.
We have County GIS maps online that show owner & property tax info. Perhaps your County/ State has the same? Speaking of which, I have to contact the Railroad Authority that owns property abutting ours with some blowdowns from the last windstorm. Hope they'll let me go after them.
