I found an amazing website for people in Ma. It is the Ma Bureau of Geographic Information. It has lots of maps but the one I like the most is the Interactive Property Map (scroll right to find it from the link). It will show you any property, who owns it, and their current address. Have you ever found a seemingly abandoned property and wondered if it was private property? Now you can find out. It also will tell you if a property is town owned. Either type in an address or just zoom in on the map and look around. Sorry if this info has been posted before but I couldn’t find it. I’m not sure if other states have this available or not. Might be worth looking into. Happy Hunting!
