What an owner lookup returns
Every parcel on PropRaven is one canonical record, so an owner lookup is not a name on its own — it is the owner in the context of the property and everything the county has filed against it. Each result opens the full record:
- Owner of record
- The current owner name as the county assessor carries it, with the owner's mailing address, city and state alongside the property's own site address.
- Entity resolution and portfolio piercing
- A person, LLC, trust or public company resolved to its canonical owner name, entity type, portfolio summary and the list of parcels it owns. PropRaven pierces LLC and trust veils where it has linked the entity to its parent, and expands a name into its realistic spellings — hyphenation, entity suffixes, N.A. forms — so one query catches the variants.
- Absentee flag
- Whether the mailing address differs from the property address — the signal behind off-market lead lists — classified as out-of-state, out-of-county, local absentee or P.O. box.
- Sales history
- The deed and transaction timeline: date, sale price where disclosed, buyer, seller and deed type. Thirteen states do not disclose sale prices on deeds, and the record says so rather than guessing.
- Permits
- Building, construction and demolition permits filed against the parcel, each with its type, status, value, dates, contractor and the jurisdiction's permit ID.
- Value and risk
- Assessed value, an automated valuation estimate and a market value, plus a composite hazard score across flood, wildfire and seismic exposure.
- Business occupants
- The business occupants recorded at the parcel.
Coverage
PropRaven publishes 191.3M distinct U.S. parcels across all 50 states and DC, with 110.0M mapped locations and 27M+ resolved owners. Alongside the parcel spine sit 10M+ title transfers, 180M+ building permits and 293M+ tax records. Public figures are rounded down, never up, and the coverage page lists every state with its parcel count and freshness.
Owner name is the one field counties redact most. Feeds in New Jersey, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and (under Prop 13) parts of California withhold some owner names at the publishing layer, so expect thinner owner coverage there — PropRaven leaves the field empty rather than filling it with a guess. The methodology page documents how owners are resolved and where the known gaps are.
How to search
- By address. Enter the street address with the city and state — 420 S Tryon St, Charlotte NC. Address matching is fuzzy, so an address fragment such as Main St paired with a ZIP code stays inside one neighbourhood.
- By owner name. Enter a person, LLC or trust name — LLC alone lists every parcel whose owner name contains it. On the results page, add a state filter and an assessed-value minimum to find entity-held property above a price floor.
- By city. Enter a city such as Raleigh to list every parcel whose address, owner or city matches, then narrow by state, property type, assessed value and year built.
- By parcel ID or APN. Use the API or the MCP connector:
parcel_lookupaccepts a canonicalstate:county:parcel_id, a street address or a raw APN and returns the owner inline.
Free: 1,000 lookups a month, no card
The Free plan is $0 and needs no card and no sales call: 1,000 lookups / mo; full records in the web app — owner, sales, permits, value & risk; self-serve api keys. The meter is lookups — nothing else. When you need more, Developer is $99/mo for 100k lookups with the full API, SDKs and webhooks, the MCP connector and the owner and sponsor graph. Plans are compared on the pricing page.
For developers and agents
The same lookup is one call over the REST API: GET /api/v1/parcels/{id}/owner returns owner details and a portfolio summary, GET /api/v1/owners/search searches owners by name and GET /api/v1/owners/{name}/portfolio returns everything an owner holds. Inside Claude, Cursor or any MCP-compatible agent, the hosted MCP server exposes parcel_lookup, owner_pierce and deals_absentee; the agent docs cover the discover → preview → pay flow. Typed SDKs ship for Python, TypeScript and Go. For a whole county or state at once, see the parcel data pages and the Snowflake Marketplace share.
Owner lookup questions
- Is the property owner lookup free?
- Yes. The Free plan is $0: 1,000 lookups a month, full records in the web app — owner, sales, permits, value and risk — and self-serve API keys. No card required and no sales call. Paid plans start at $99 a month for 100k lookups with the full API, SDKs, webhooks and the MCP connector.
- Can PropRaven tell me who is behind an LLC or a trust?
- PropRaven resolves an LLC, trust, person or public company to its canonical owner name, entity type and full portfolio of parcels, and pierces LLC and trust veils where it has linked the entity to its parent. It does not resolve beneficial ownership — the controlling natural person behind an entity — which requires Secretary of State filings and FinCEN BOI access.
- What is an absentee owner?
- An owner whose mailing address differs from the property address. PropRaven compares the situs and mailing addresses on the county record and classifies a mismatch as out-of-state, out-of-county, local absentee (same ZIP, different street) or P.O. box; confidence scales with how many address fields agree.
- How current is the owner information?
- Owner, value, sales and permit records come from county assessor, recorder and building-permit feeds. The canonical dataset is refreshed on a weekly cadence and published as an immutable, versioned epoch: every table must clear the epoch it replaces or nothing ships, every record carries its source provenance, and a bad release rolls back in one move.
