How to Find a Property Owner by Address, Name, or Phone Number

Learning how to find a property owner by address is easy. You have some local municipal options and some great third-party resources. Some even allow you to perform a free property owner search. A PropertyChecker property owner lookup is quick and easy and offers a complete report with tons of information about the owner. Property ownership records show the full chain of title and everyone who has ever owned the property, including address, email, and phone number, when available.

Types of Property Ownership

Many different types of entities own property. During a property ownership lookup, you might be surprised to find that the property is owned by a trust or corporation rather than a person. As you begin to search property ownership in detail, you will come across the following types:

• Tenancy in Common - Allows multiple owners to own “unequal” property ownership shares. Each owner can sell, lease, mortgage, or share their interest in the property.
• Joint Tenancy - Joint tenancy allows two or more people to own a property jointly. Couples or family members most often use this.
• Trust Ownership - A trust owns the property, protecting it until it is passed on to the beneficiaries. This type of property ownership also has tax benefits.
• Community Property - This usually refers to property purchased and owned during a marriage that immediately becomes community property (equally owned by both) in many states.
• Sole Property - A single individual owns the property without any joint owners or beneficiaries.
• Tenants in Common - When multiple people invest in and own a property. For example, a commercial building or shopping center.
• Tenancy by the Entirety - It is very similar to joint tenancy with rights of survivorship, but each party cannot change or sever the tenancy by transferring their interest in the property.
• Join Tenancy with Rights of Survivorship - When one party dies (usually a spouse), the ownership of the deceased transfers to the other party.
• Joint Ownership - Joint ownership is much like joint tenancy, except the owners may be investors who do not use the property but own shares.
• Co-Op - Shared living quarters and buildings among many people (commonly used with communes and cults).
• Condominium - The condo owner owns the interior of their home, but the buildings and common land are shared by all owners.
• Life Estate - Grants the owner ownership and tenancy of a piece of property for their entire life until they die.
