Proper way to find out who owns what land??

wmflyfisher · #1 11-17-2009, 11:44 PM

I have a pretty good section of land behind my house that I KNOW has deer. How can I find out who owns all the land behind my house and contact them??? Any help would be great.

What county is this in.

Public tax records... If you have a buddy in real estate they can help you.

Here is the link.

http://www.qpublic.net/clarke/

Click on "search records" on the left hand side.

Click "Yes, I accept the above statement."

Click "search by owner name"

Enter the owner name of the property you live on.

Select the correct parcel number on the left.

One the right hand side, click "show parcel map".

You should see your parcel. Click on "get info" on the left side. You can also check "aerial photo" on the left.

Select the parcel you want to know the owner of. The info you want will refresh on the right side of the screen. You can click on the parcel number to get all the info.

Excellent. Just found it but it says the land is owned by a company, not an individual. There is a very small organic farm on some of the land. The rest is woods. Guess I'll just go have to talk to someone. Thanks a lot for the help guys. That's pretty interesting.

Your welcome.

Oh I forgot to put this in my original reply....

You are suppose to say it like the "Field of Dreams" movie...."If you build it...he will come".

LOL....

Use your countys GIS mapping. You can search your name then click the property behind yours to see who the owners are.

Go to www.gaassessors.com and proceed.

Does Dekalb have the map to choose parcels from, I don't see it ? Sure would make it easier. Woodlots don't have a mail box to get a street number or name off of. I cant find parcel numbers with out a map. Thats the way I did it at their office. So far I've been getting street numbers nearby and going off that map. It don't always show a neighboring property's address though.

snookdoctor · #15 04-16-2010, 12:05 AM

Not all counties have progressed in technology to the point of using parcel maps. You would think that Dekalb would have maps.

brent613 · #16 04-16-2010, 11:36 AM

yeah most every county has this just search what every county it is and GIS it should find it for you.

Many properties are held in LLCs due to landowner liability issues. They still may be individually owned.

Google "Dekalb County, GA GIS" or "Dekalb County, GA Tax maps"

I looked on the Tax Map and found the owner of the property ive been looking at now how do I go about contacting them?

hoochfisher · #20 04-18-2010, 12:53 AM

search your county's tax map online.

bowanna · #21 04-18-2010, 01:19 AM

Its in Dekalb co. I don't see a land lot/parcel map. Theres one in the office, I've used it. I never needed an address when I went there.
Seems like there should be an on line version ? Theres no visible address on a woodlot, even though they all have one.

Bowanna, try this...

Have you tried asking one of the neighbors? Just go up to the door and ring the bell. They will come to the door. Introduce yourself and ask politely. Many times people know who owns the property next door and can give you a contact name.

Go to Dekalb County Tax appraiser section on the web.....You can then search by address.
