It may not be obvious to you who that someone is, but somewhere there is an owner.

If you want to know who owns a given piece of property there are two places you can check with, either the local tax assessor’s office, or the city or county office that records land ownership, usually the county/city clerk, or recorder of deeds if there is one.

One or the other will be able to tell you who the current owner of record is depending on the information you give them.

What is your definition of "owner?"

I cannot see that anyone other than the "municipal taxing corporation" can claim "ownership."

Do not "pay" "pro-per-ty" "taxes" and one will find out who claims "ownership," and what the ultimate instrument to assert and enforce the claim of ownership is, in case one vehemently insists they actually "own" anything, and defends their "right" to "property."

In the Congressional Record, 73rd Congress 1st Session Senate Document 43 there is an interesting statement regarding "ownership" of "property."
