I am new to the game,and have a question. Could someone tell me what is the best way to find the property owner of a property I find while driving around? I have only an address, house is vacant. Nearest neighbor is a new home and is unable to help me with info. Thanks
Check the tax records for your county. That’s the easiest way I know to find the legal owner (and usually address) for any given property.
Can that be done online or how would I get the tax info?
The tax records for my county (and many) are available online for free. Check your county website.
my county’s website gives me the name and number of the county tax collector. Will he give me that info if I call him? Do I have to tell him why I need it? Thanks again.
In my county, the actual records are available online, so you don’t have to call the tax collector.
“Real Property Assessments” or some language like that would be the wording.
If you don’t have anything like that, then try calling. (Or, alternatively, tell me the county and I’ll see if I can find it. You may not be seeing the forest through the trees.)
The county is monroe co P.A.
