The short answer

How do I find out who owns a property?

It is an ownership report only. It does not include mortgages, liens, or earlier deeds; for those, see the Full Owner and Lien Report or the Chain of Title Report.

California owner lookup

Find the owner of any California home or investment property

Most California county assessor websites let you look up a parcel but do not show the owner’s name online, and county recorder indexes are searched by name, not by address. To see who owns a California property today, you need the recorded vesting deed.

The Property & Vesting Profile pulls it for you: the owner of record named exactly as on title, how title is held, the parcel number and legal description, and a PDF copy of the current deed. It is $75 in all 58 California counties, typically emailed the same business day.

Buying from a seller or wholesaler

Confirm the seller is the owner of record before you sign a contract or send a deposit.

Investors and private lenders

Verify vesting and who must sign before you make an offer or fund a loan.

Contractors

Get the owner name and legal description a preliminary notice or mechanics lien requires.

Apartment and office buildings

Find the LLC, partnership, or trust behind a commercial property.

Heirs and families

See whether a parent’s home is still in their name before you file an affidavit of death.

Neighbors and tenants

Identify the owner behind a vacant lot, a rental, or a property manager.

Frequently asked

16 questions about property owner searches

Can you tell me who owns a property?

Yes. Order a Property and Vesting Profile for $75. It shows the owner of record named exactly as on title, how title is held, the parcel number, and the legal description, with 1 copy of the current vesting deed. You only need the state, county, and property address.

How much does a property owner search cost?

The Property and Vesting Profile is $75 in every county. The Full Owner and Lien Report, which adds open mortgages and foreclosure status, is $175, and the Chain of Title Report, with every indexed deed copy up to 40 years back, is $225.

Can I look up a property owner in any state?

Yes. The owner search is available for property in any county in any U.S. state at the same $75 price. Select the state and county on the order form and enter the address or parcel number.

What do I get in the $75 owner search?

The owner of record, vesting, owner mailing address, parcel number, legal description, last transfer, property details, assessed values, and 1 PDF copy of the current vesting deed. It does not include mortgages, liens, or earlier deeds.

Can I get prior deeds with the owner search?

Yes, as an add-on. The owner search includes 1 copy of the current vesting deed; prior deeds are $35 each, or order the Chain of Title Report for $225, which includes the recorded transfer history and copies of every indexed deed, up to 40 years back.

Will the report show how title is vested?

Yes. Vesting is how the owners hold title, for example as joint tenants, as community property, as tenants in common, or as trustees of a living trust. Vesting affects what happens when an owner dies or sells, so the report shows it exactly as recorded.

Can I look up who owns a property by address only?

Yes. A full street address with the state and county is enough for most properties. For vacant land, a new subdivision, or a condominium unit, add the parcel number if you have it so the correct parcel is identified.

How fast will I get the owner information?

Owner reports are emailed as a PDF, typically the same business day for orders placed by 4:30 p.m. Pacific, Monday through Friday, once payment and the property details are received.

Can I get mortgages and liens with the owner search?

Yes, with a lien report. The Property and Vesting Profile covers ownership only. For open mortgages and foreclosure status, order the Property Lien Report for $95, or the Full Owner and Lien Report for $175, which combines both.

Can I verify a seller owns the property before I pay a deposit?

Yes. Compare the seller name with the owner of record in the Property and Vesting Profile before you make an offer or send a deposit. If the names do not match, or title is held by a trust or an entity, confirm who can sell with your escrow or title company.

Can you check whether a fraudulent deed was recorded on my home?

Yes. The $75 Property and Vesting Profile shows the current vesting deed of record, so you can confirm that no unexpected transfer was recorded. Many county recorders also offer free notification when a document is recorded under your name. If you find a suspicious deed, contact law enforcement and an attorney.

Can you find the owner when a tenant or relative lives there?

Yes. The owner of record can be a landlord, a relative, a living trust, an LLC, or a lender after foreclosure. The recorded deed controls ownership, not who occupies the property, which is why the report includes the current vesting deed.

Does the report include the owner phone number or email?

No. TruPoint property reports compile recorded ownership and property information. They do not provide phone numbers or email addresses.

My parent died. Can you check whether the house is still in their name?

Yes. The $75 Property and Vesting Profile shows who is on title and how title is held. For California property held in joint tenancy or a trust, TruPoint can prepare the affidavit of death you direct for $325. For other states, consult a local attorney.

Can I use an owner search instead of title insurance?

No. It is an uninsured compilation of property records. It is not title insurance or a preliminary title report, and no one insures or guarantees title based on it.

How do I order a property owner search?

On the order page, tap Property and Vesting Profile, select the property state and county, enter the property details, review and sign the agreement, and pay by card through Square. Your PDF is emailed, typically the same business day.
