Where to Find Free Property-Owner Data (and When to Pay)

Start with your county assessor or property appraiser for public ownership and parcel records. Records are often free to search, but coverage, fields, and access vary by county. DealMachine offers free browsing and searching; revealing phone numbers or emails and requesting certain property details can use data credits.

Where can I get free property-owner data?

Check the county assessor or property appraiser's website for the recorded owner, parcel number, and tax mailing address. A county recorder may provide deed documents. Search access and document fees vary locally, and public records may be incomplete or may not establish current legal ownership.

How do I use DealMachine to search property owners?

1. Create an account or sign in to DealMachine. Search properties in your target area and narrow results with relevant filters. Browsing and searching are free. Review available owner information, then check your credits and current plan before revealing contact details or requesting chargeable property information. See current plans and pricing.

What does free or paid data cost?

County-record search costs and document fees depend on the local office. In DealMachine, browsing, searching, count requests, and cost estimates are free. Revealing owner phone numbers or emails uses person credits; some requested property details use property credits. Properties and people are counted separately, and repeat access to the same chargeable record in one billing cycle is not charged again. Included amounts depend on your plan, so check the pricing page. There is no automatic per-credit overage; a request can stop when your balance is insufficient.

Worked example: one property and two people

Suppose you search one address and request phone or email details for two distinct owners. The search itself is free. If requested property fields are chargeable, they can use one property credit; the two people can use two person credits. Included balance depends on your plan, and results are not guaranteed.

How do I connect DealMachine to an AI assistant?

DealMachine provides an MCP server for supported AI clients. See MCP server connection information for client-specific setup instructions. The link is a starting point, not a completed connection. Requests revealing contact details or chargeable property information may use credits.

What should I verify before relying on a result?

Confirm important ownership details with local public records. County sites differ, mailing addresses do not prove where an owner lives, and contact matches do not guarantee a working phone number or email. Use free search and cost estimates before requesting chargeable details.
