Ghost Owner in El Paso County, TX
A death on record, an empty-looking house, tax unpaid. Heirs who inherit a house they do not live in and cannot easily keep up are often open to a simple sale. Records only: it means the deed or the owner name reads as an estate, not that we know anyone has died.
Every layer has to be true
- A death-related deed or an estate / heirs owner on record
- The house looks empty (model score or a city vacant-structure case)
- Property tax is past due
A property is counted only when all 3 are true at once.
