Find a property owner in Los Angeles County, California
Los Angeles County takes in Los Angeles and the surrounding area. In California, 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles County records
Official sources used for Los Angeles addresses:
- Los Angeles County Office of the Assessor – property portal — Parcel lookup by address or Assessor's ID Number (AIN), with assessed values and parcel maps.
- LA County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk – real estate records — Recorded deeds and other real estate documents for the county.
California's Proposition 13 bases a property's assessed value on its purchase price, with annual increases generally capped at 2% until a change in ownership. A low assessed value relative to the neighborhood is a signal of a long-held property — a classic long-tenure owner to prospect.
Record searches give you a name and a mailing address, not a phone number. Plan a second step to get phones and emails, and screen them against Do Not Call before you dial.
Common questions
How do I find the owner of a property in Los Angeles County?
The Los Angeles County property appraiser or assessor website publishes the recorded owner name and mailing address for every property in the county at no charge. For a list of addresses, an owner-data tool resolves each one directly to the verified owner with phones (DNC flagged) and emails.
Where do I find Los Angeles County property records?
Assessment and owner-of-record data come from the county assessor; recorded deeds, mortgages and liens are with the county recorder. Most Los Angeles County offices offer an online search by address or parcel number.
Is it legal to look up property owners in Los Angeles County?
Yes. California deed and assessment records are public. Calling or texting the owner is a separate question: the federal TCPA and the Do Not Call registry apply, so screen numbers before you dial.
