[meteorite-list] Landowner Lookup Question

You'll have a problem.  The CAD (county appraisal district) will only have the property info and the mailing addy of the person in question.  Often that mailing addy is a PO box, so no crisscross phone # for you.  You'll have to send a letter.

Courthouse records including a plat map or the local title company may have a title plant which will also help you find the owner, but by far the CAD is the easiest and free way to go, as it is often online.

My normal method, is I have to go to location anyway for recon so I simply stop at nearby ranches/farms and show up on doorsteps with a map in my hand.  The map is important, as it disarms any distrust from folks, as everyone want to help the lost guy.  Then I simply say "I don't THINK I'm lost, but..." and go on to ask about local history, info, who knows the area, and who owns that farm over yonder.

More specifically, if I want to find information that will allow me to contact a private landowner of a very remote area here in the Pacific Northwest.
