Find a property owner in Jackson County, Missouri
Jackson County takes in Kansas City and the surrounding area. In Missouri, deeds are recorded by the county recorder of deeds, 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 Jackson 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 Jackson County records
Official sources used for Kansas City addresses:
- Jackson County Assessment — Owner of record and valuation for Jackson County parcels (search from the county's website).
- Jackson County Recorder of Deeds — Recorded deeds for Jackson County.
North-of-the-river neighborhoods are in Clay or Platte County, each with its own assessor and recorder.
Missouri is a non-disclosure state, so Jackson County deeds generally will not show what the owner paid.
Compare the owner mailing address with the property address. When they differ, the owner is usually absentee — a landlord or second-home owner — and often worth a different pitch than an owner-occupant.
