You may be able to look it up on your county/parrish/township tax assessor's website or you may have to actually go to the court house and look it up. I do it all the time to find houses to flip.

Check online, the tax records (who tell the owner and give an address) should tell you.

County records.

You contact land registry.......... depends on where in the world you are, if the country still use paper records the potential is you can search, if not and it is all digital there is likely to be a small charge

most property tax records are online. The person paying the taxes is usually the owner. If not online, you can go to the tax office and ask them. It's all free
