Tracking vacant properties homeowner

Hello everyone,

I have a list of vacant properties but I am having hard time locating the homeowners. I have tried cook county tax assessor website and they don't provide the mailing address for vacant properties. I have called them to ask if they can provide me with the mailing address in return they said "We only have the information that you can read online on our tax assessor website". How else can I locate track the vacant property homeowner. By the way I live in Illinois (cook county). Thanks all!

 I have had success with Beenverified.com to find vacant property owners.  It is the cheapest way to skip trace anyone.  There are other services but you will pay more.  Beenverified is $25/month if I'm not mistaken.  I paid $60 for a six month unlimited search.  It has been a great service for me as I deal with a lot of vacant property and bad addresses.
