If there’s a plot of vacant land that no one owns not even the city, county or government entity are you able to acquire the land with no money?

Not sure. This would be a better question for a lawyer in your area. If I had to guess, as soon as the government found out, they would find a way to take it and make you pay them to get it.

In my experience, there is no such thing.  Most likely the county records are incorrect or missing something.  All land is owned by some entity or person.

I think how works is... All land not own by a person, corporation or other entities; is automatically owned by some political division such as a county, a state or federal gov.
