You can look at Zillow. You can also go to the Tax Assessor's office. You can always call a Realtor.

I absolutely can't believe so many agents posting on here have so little respect for Zillow's access and providing of public record data that they wouldn't even state that it is here for most ownership properties throughout the country.
I guess that means that they think that all the data they "autofeed" to this site from syndicating sites is wrong, so that you shouldn't even look at their listings at all? (Even though the public records data is independent of the listing info)?
If you really don't want people getting info from Zillow, why even bother posting?
No one is going to call you if you have that little respect for the company giving you space to write.
If you find the public records wrong on any home you view, there is a "report a problem" button under the "edit" tab under the photo on EACH home details page.
The agents don't know buy the appraiser does? Why do agents continue to state other agents are the "experts" when they don't even know how to find information on a publicly accessible website?

Cut if in half and count the rings...
But seriously, many of the answers here will get you the info you need, but I'd start with Zillow, then call county/township offices, then try the neighbors. If you own the house, I might try the neighbors first.
Good Luck!

One way would be to look at tax records, as someone else mentioned. Another would be to go to the court house where deeds are recorded and trace backwards in the deedbooks when the property changed hands. Eventually, you will come to the "birthday" of the house.

The easiest way is probably to go to the tax record. Here, the Department of Revenue for the County has a website that anyone can go to and pull up a property. It tells you when it was built along with a whole lot of other useful (as well as not so useful but interesting) information.

You could sneak into its birthday party and count the candles on the cake.
The only problem is finding out the birthday to know when to find the cake with candles. ;)

You can get this information from your local tax assessor's office, as well as your local municipal government's building department who should be able to give you the year built with the certificate of occupancy.

As stated below, you can contact an agent and they would be glad to do a quick pull of the age however there should be a way to do this yourself. In my county, there is an online property search through the assessors page. Do a quick google search in your county to see if you have this same search. Type in your address and should bring up all relevant information to your house.
Cheers!

If you are trying to determine what year your house was built, there are a couple of ways to do some research. I would begin by trying to locate the deed to your house. If you can't locate your deed, you should be able to research your local property tax information on the internet. Locate your local tax-assessor and they should have a county records division. Finally, you can always try looking at you current homeowners insurance. They typically will not approve an insurance policy without knowing the age of the house.There is also another technique that can be used if the house hasn't been recently remodeled. Under the toilet seat lid, there is a date of manufacturing that is typically stamped. Toilets are rarely replaced so it can give you a good estimate on when your house was built.

The township assessor should have the information. Often, on homes older than about 70 years or so, the records just indicate 1900 for date built. That's about as close as you will get.

You can call your local Town Office and they will have this information for you as this is public record and they can get you that information rather quickly.

You can find this info in the county records for the taxes. Also if you want another avenue you can go into the local abstact office and inquire about the address and the year it was first taxed. most all info is now on computer. There may be a small fee for this but it will give you the info you need.

The year built is in tax (public) records. Real estate agents have easy access to tax records. Just call any real estate office and ask.
How do I find out the age of a house?
