Finding Property Owner when its an LLC?

[Vince S.]

When finding properties and it looks like the owner is an LLC or Trust. How do you locate an individual to contact? What are the tools? Thanks.

Hi @Vince S. Limited Liability Companies are registered with the state, so you can typically check on the website for the secretary of state where you're located.

For example, here in Georgia the LLC search page is https://ecorp.sos.ga.gov/BusinessSearch

For trusts, it's a bit harder, since they don't have to register with the state. I'd start with the county clerk website to find out when the trust purchased the property, and then look at those transfer tax documents to see if an address is provided. You can also check the county tax commissioner to see where the annual property tax bills are being sent.
