Find a property owner in Hillsborough County, Florida
Hillsborough County takes in Tampa and the surrounding area. In Florida, deeds are recorded by the county clerk of court (the comptroller in a few counties), and property is assessed by the county property appraiser. 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 Hillsborough 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 Hillsborough County records
Official sources used for Tampa addresses:
- Hillsborough County Property Appraiser — Owner of record, mailing address and values for Hillsborough parcels.
- Hillsborough County Clerk of Court – official records — Recorded deeds, mortgages and liens.
St. Petersburg and Clearwater are across the bay in Pinellas County, which has its own appraiser and clerk, so 'Tampa Bay' lists usually span two or more counties.
A recent deed transfer is a timing signal: new owners rarely sell soon, while long-held properties with an out-of-area mailing address are classic listing prospects.
