Find a property owner in Hennepin County, Minnesota
Hennepin County takes in Minneapolis and the surrounding area. In Minnesota, deeds are recorded by the county recorder, and property is assessed by the county assessor. Those offices give you the owner of record and mailing address one parcel at a time; for a whole list, an owner-data tool returns owners, phones (DNC flagged) and emails in one pass.
What's on a Hennepin County property record
- The recorded owner name (person or LLC)
- The mailing address (often different from the property location for absentee owners)
- Assessed value and tax history
- Property characteristics (lot size, year built where applicable, square footage)
- A link to the recorded deed in most counties
Working Hennepin County records
Official sources used for Minneapolis addresses:
- Hennepin County property information search — Owner of record, values and tax data for Hennepin County parcels (search from hennepin.us).
- Hennepin County property records (recording) — Recorded abstract and Torrens documents (search from hennepin.us).
Minnesota keeps two land systems. Abstract property is tracked through recorded documents, while Torrens (registered) property has a certificate of title. Hennepin County has a significant amount of Torrens land, so check which system a parcel uses.
For a farm or expired list, pull the parcel numbers first. Parcel IDs stay stable when an address is written differently, so they make cleaner matches than street addresses.
