Locating Property owners:

[LabradorBob]

I hope this works for other people.
Recently i found some property that had some history but i had no idea who owned it.
I drove by the property,and the closest house had one of those electronic gates.
well there's a mailbox out there anyway so i write down the address.
When i get home i look on the internet and find this link. http://www.whitepages.com/
At the bottom right there is a box labeled Reverse phone,to the right there it says address
so i click on that.I put in the address,City,and state.
It gives me the owner,spouse,relatives,all with phone numbers and age.I was shocked.
Anyway i call,and the wife answers,I say is this Carolyn,and she says yes it is,and i ask about the property,
which she verifies they do own,I tell her i was wondering if they would allow me to metal detect.
They gave me permission to detect all their property.
Worked great

Thanks for the heads-up, I just found a place similarly and wrote down the address but don't know who owns it, this should help.

You were fortunate. The real meat and potatoes of an owners property is:

Assessor Database and put your city State in there and it will tell you the owner of the property, when it was built, sq. ft. etc

for example:

Most counties have a GIS system as well. It gives all the particulars of the property to include the name. Seems like you have found a good system, because i dont think the GIS gives a phone. Ill have to try your system. We never stop learning do we?
