How to find property owner

[2M+A]

I live in a small town name Scott, Ohio. I put out two caches and I am trying to figure out who owner the property. My best friend does not know how to do it. I went out to Paulding Country Auditor and nothing is coming up. I have both coordinate if this help N 40 59.566 W 84 35.127 and N 40 59.451 W 84 35.124. Can anyone help me. I have learning disability in read and writing. Thanks.

It looks like there are homes near both locations. Did you try knocking on doors?

It appears that the first coordinates are on Jackson Street. I got this by pasting the coords into a Google Search. The Paulding County Auditors web page does have a parcel search. I did a street search, and got a list of parcels on that street. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any parcel maps. If you have an actual address, you can add that when doing a street search. That may get you closer.

 

Or, take the coords into the County office, and ask them to do a parcel search. They may have better tools than those offered on their web site.

Have you tried looking them up on some sort of Platt map? I bought the Oregon chip for my gps for hunting season, and it shows land ownership. If you have any friends or family that do a lot of hunting, you may ask them if they have that chip.

364 Jackson is ParcelID=07-01S-012-00. You can lookup the owner information on the Paulding County web site. I'll leave the other coords for you to lookup. I'm not going to post the owner's information in this forum, that would be bad form.

Can you tell me how you did that I am having trouble bring anything up. Wet Pancake Touring club. The other one is 1081 Logan Street was the house that was there and the knock it down. My friend thought it was these people but I want to make sure. I do a search with the address and nothing come up. So I am not for sure what I am doing wrong.

Me, I just wondering why you are placing caches on private property before asking for permission?

[+Wet Pancake Touring Club]

I went tot he Paulding County web site. In the top of the menu on the left is a Search button. This will take you to a search page. There is a tab on that page for an address search. Enter the house number in the first field, and the street name in the last field. This should get you owner information.

 

As general knowledge for everyone, lots of counties have parcel search information available. Where they hide it differs. I have found this info on Assessor, Treasurers, Information Technology or GIS department pages. Sometimes they offer a searchable map, other times it is just a database map.

There used to be "Public Land." Now a days, everything is owned by some one. Whether that some one is an individual, a company, or the government, every square inch is owned.

Have you tried visiting the local public library? They usually have plat maps you can look at and can help you use them, which is useful for rural areas, and often know how to look up the property tax records on specific addresses.
