Public Records - no address?

Question

I just went to my county's Recorder's office to search for NOD's and found many of them...but none of them have addresses.  How do I locate the owner of a property that I find in the Recorder's office?  The docs had info like name, amount in default, etc.. but no way for me to contact the owner...help!  I'm new!

You have to be creative :) In my area I look up the "NOD" and make note of the tax assessor number or the owners name, then use that to search in the tax records to come up with the address.
          
           I also use a GIS mapping site, plug in thier name and match it up that way. It also gives me a good overview of the porperty, value, parcel size etc.

I pay 180.00/yr and access county records from home/office. I also use a GIS mapping website like this one I found for Orange county CA
                                        
                                        http://gis.co.orange.nc.us/land/search.asp
                                        
                                         Click on â€œland records division" on the left
                                        
                                         Then select "Orange county interactive GIS mapping systems"
                                        
                                         Click on "accept limitations"
                                        
                                         Enter the last name first then their first name (Johnson Judy) then click on the little binoculars next to the box in which you entered the name.
                                        
                                         You can then click on (across the top) â€œbuildingsâ€ or â€œdocumentsâ€ or â€œproperty addressâ€ or â€œprior ownersâ€ if you click on â€œGIS mapâ€ it will show you where the property is located in map form.
                                        
                                          You can do a search using the owners name or a property address (good for vacant properties you happen to drive by), Parcel identification number (PIN) or a few other qualifiers. 
                                        
                                        This site will give you all kinds of information like year of dwelling, how many square feet, garage, pool, parcel size, taxpayers mailing address and much more

                              After giving you the steps to get to the site I realized my link takes you right to the page where you enter your search qualifiers :)

Maybe a dumb question, but have you asked the people that work in the recorder's office?  They can probably help you.

There should be some kind of information that can be linked to the address.  Maybe a legal address that can be punched in the county website to find the street address.

Anthony~ NOD stands for "Notice Of Default"

Here is a site with links to CA GIS mapping sites but the one for OC isn't the same as for Nevada co (check out their GIS mapping to get a feel for how it should look)

Sam M. · Answer

My bad! You get the idea though :) Most locations have that sort of information available.

what does NOD stand for???

My company  has a skip tracer locate the owners.  They may not always get direct to the home owner, but they always get at least a relative who will help.  If you want the name of the one we use, let me know and I will get it to you (don't want to break forum rules).
