Find a property owner in Union County, New Jersey
Union County takes in Elizabeth and the surrounding area. In New Jersey, deeds are recorded by the county clerk or register of deeds, and property is assessed by the municipal tax 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 Union 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 Union County records
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.
