How to find a property owner's phone number
To find a property owner's phone number, get the owner's name and mailing address from the county assessor, then search that name on a free people-search site if you need one owner, or run a bulk skip trace priced per matched record if you have a list. County records usually do not include the phone number itself.

The short answer
The county tells you who owns the property and where they get their mail. It almost never tells you how to call them. The right next step depends on how many owners you need: one owner is a free search you can do by hand, and a list of owners is a job for a skip trace, which looks every owner up in one pass and appends phones and emails to your file.
Step 1
Get the owner's name and mailing address from the county
Step 2
For one owner, search a free people-search site
Step 3
For a list, run a bulk skip trace priced per record
Step 1: Get the owner's name and mailing address from the county
Every county keeps a public record of who owns each parcel, because it sends the property tax bill. Search the property address, or the parcel number if you have it, on the county assessor's or tax office's website or its GIS parcel map. Searching is usually free.
What the county record usually shows:
- The owner's name as it appears on the tax roll: one person, a couple, an estate, an LLC or a trust.
- The mailing address the tax bill goes to. When it differs from the property's own address, the owner lives somewhere else (an absentee owner), and the mailing address is the one to search on.
- The parcel number, the assessed value and often the last sale date and deed reference.
What it usually does not show is a phone number or an email. Owners do not give those to the assessor, so no amount of searching county records turns them up. That is what steps 2 and 3 are for.
If the owner is an LLC or a trust, the county record names the entity, not a person, and you need the person behind it before a phone search can work: how to skip trace an LLC-owned property. For why the mailing address usually beats the property address, see mailing address vs property address.
Step 2: For one owner, search a free people-search site
For one owner, a free people-search site is the right answer, and Skipmatch is not. Skipmatch is bulk only: orders start at 50 records. If you have a single name from the county, look it up yourself.
People-search sites compile public records and commercial data into profiles you search by name. A typical free result shows the person's name, age range, current and past cities, possible relatives, and some or all of their phone numbers; many sites keep the full numbers behind a paid report or subscription. This guide names no site, because none has been tested here.
- Search the owner's name with the city and state of the mailing address from the county record, not the property's city.
- Confirm it is the right person by matching that mailing address in their address history. Common names return many people.
- Expect several numbers, some of them old. Try the most recent first and note which ones connect.
A paid middle ground is buying contacts one at a time inside a property data platform. One dated example: as of Sept 2026, PropertyRadar's Solo plan is $119.00 a month billed monthly and includes 250 phones and emails a month, then $0.08 per contact (propertyradar.com/pricing (opens in a new tab), checked ). That suits someone already using the platform to build lists; for one owner, the free search above is enough.
Step 3: For a list, run a bulk skip trace priced per record
Looking owners up one by one stops being practical after a few dozen names. A bulk skip trace takes the whole list as a file and returns the same file with contacts appended. With Skipmatch:
- Put the owners in a CSV of 50 to 100,000 rows, with an owner name and an address (street, city, state and ZIP) on each row. Use the mailing address from the county data.
- Upload it. Your column names do not need to match ours; you point each one at the right field during upload.
- See the price for the whole list before you pay: $0.03 a record at any list size. Minimum charge $0.50 when any record matches.
- Get your file back with up to 10 phone numbers per owner, ranked, each labelled mobile, landline or VoIP, plus emails where they exist and a match flag on every row. Your own columns come back unchanged.
Worked from the price ladder: a 500-record list is at most $15.00 and a 5,000-record list is at most $150.00. The cost calculator prices any row count, and the pricing page has the full ladder.
New to the term? What skip tracing is covers where the data comes from and what a result file holds, and free vs paid skip tracing covers when paying makes sense.
The three methods side by side
Cost, speed and best use for each method. The skip trace row shows Skipmatch's own prices; the other two are categories, so no single price applies.
| Method | What you get | Cost | Speed | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| County assessor or tax office | Owner name, mailing address, parcel number. Usually no phone. | Usually free to search online | One property per search, by hand | Confirming who owns a property and where they get mail |
| Free people-search site | Profiles by name, with some or all phone numbers | Free to search; full reports often paid | One owner per search, checked by hand | One owner, or a handful |
| Bulk skip trace (Skipmatch) | Up to 10 phones per owner with line type, plus emails where they exist | Per record: $0.03 (any list size) | The whole list in one upload | Lists of 50 to 100,000 owners |
Before you call
Finding a number and using it are two different questions. Calling and texting are regulated: they fall under the TCPA, state telemarketing rules and the do-not-call registries. The results are not a consumer report, so they must not be used for credit, employment, tenant screening or insurance decisions.
- Scrub the numbers against the do-not-call registries before you dial.
- Honor every request to stop calling or texting.
- Use the line type (mobile, landline or VoIP) to sort numbers before you call or text.
Every Skipmatch account accepts the permissible-use terms before its first order. This is general information, not legal advice.
