Question

How does on find out who owns a particular residence? Is it public information?

Answer 1

You need to do a title search at the registrars office.

Most states have this information publicly available on-line.

Just good that city and look for "property assessment" or something similar for that city's website.

Answer 2

If you're in the US, go to your local county or township tax assessor's office.  Some of these units also have the information on the web, so you could search for that, and add "tax assessor" or "register of deeds" or some such to the search arguments.  Budgets are tight right now, though, so they may have cut that service to save money.

Answer 3

Yes, contact your local recorders or property taxation office for your county.
