Generally, real property isn't 'declared abandoned'. The way it finds its way back into circulation is through the tax collector's department.

When real property has been abandoned due to the death of the last owner, or when the owner fails to pay the property taxes, the property taxes become delinquent and the town can take possession of the property by a tax taking procedure. The tax taking procedures vary by state and generally culminate in a court decree that vests title in the town. Once the tax taking procedure has been completed the town can sell the land.
