How to verify property ownership?

Question

I've tried a couple of subscription sites to verify a property's owner and owner's mailing address but find that they're too expensive. Realtytrac, for example, is $50/month and gives you reliable ownership information. However, I feel like that price is that high because of the foreclosure information that they provide. I've been going directly to the County Recorder's office to find foreclosure properties so I don't really need to pay a subscription service for that.

Is there another tool I can use to get reliable ownership information?

Thanks.

@Daniel Rosado Realtors can look up that info for free so team up with a local realtor and ask them. You also can go to that county's tax assessor office website and put in the address.

Try an app called "On X Hunt". There's a reddish/orange box around the "X" in the logo.

It's a hunting/outdoors app but you can actually use it to search for property boundaries as well as owner information.

It has different layers, most of them will won't apply, such as hunting unit overlays, but the two layers that can really help are the parcel data overlay and possibly the topography map overlay. And yes, it has property owner information for cities as well (being the app is designed for the woods/hunting purposes).

I'm trying it for 7 days as a trial, and then it's $30/yr after that.

Try it in your area and see if it works for you.

It looks like this require a credit card, any idea how much it is to use the site? pricing Info doesn't seem readily available on the site.

All the above info is great! I would take those suggestions for sure. Also, if you're on the road Driving for Dollars and getting properties, you should consider using the Land Glide app. It cost $10 per month and allows you to look up that info on the spot using the GPS location. Hope that's helpful. Let me know if I can help in the future.
