Would you need permission? If nobody lives there who would you ask? Good question.

Someone has to own the land. Find out who and ask.

who pays the taxes on it?

Yup... Good reply.

Hit the county court house or whoever holds that information.

In Montana it's all on-line. I can get names of owners, who pays the taxes... everything right on my PC. Many if not most ghost towns are on private property and you'll need permission.

Are you willing to share which town or where? Maybe someone her can get that information for you and get you started on who to contact.

Permission Granted!

Contact the county assessor for the property owner(s). If not, ask a neighbor living close by. They might be the owners or will know who owns the property.

Maybe call Ghost Busters ?

You could also try the local historical society, but I'd try the property appraiser/tax accessor's office first.
