How do you find out the owner of a commercial building?

First, try checking the property address at the city tax assessor's office. You can visit the assessor's office in the city where the property is located. You should be able to obtain the owner's name and their deed reference. Many have online property searching available but those can be difficult to use. To find the local assessors office simply perform an online search using the town, state and "assessor's records". Or, find the city's official website and look for a list of departments.

If that doesn't work then go to the local land records office and ask the staff to help you research the property by using the address. Through a little research you should be able to find the owner's name. However, if you're trying to find the owner of a commercial property the research may be more difficult and you may need the help of a professional title examiner to determine who actually owns the property.

You can contract a real estate agent or title company to do the research for you.

You can go online and find sites such as Findpropertyowner.com or propertyshark.com.
