    Go to the county auditor and find out who owns it.

    I don't know what you mean by "claim a house." Can you simply walk in and say, "This is my house now?" No.

    If you call your local assessor's office they will give you the info on who/where the tax bills are sent - I pick up these records all the time.

    You then would have to buy the house from the owner. Of course, if taxes are unpaid there's a possibility it will come up for auction.
