+obsidianspider Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 There are a few areas near me that have no caches anywhere near them and look like they would be a good spot to place a cache. It makes me wonder why. I'd like to go out and place a cache, but the only problem is, I have no idea who owns the land. If it's public land, private land or what. There aren't any obvious houses, businesses or signs that indicate one way or another. What's the best way to determine who is the owner of a given piece of land? Quote

I would start with the County Plat Maps at your tax assessors office, or possibly your local library. Quote

Clan Riffster Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Locally, my greatest resource has been the Property Appraiser's Office for whatever county the property is in. The 3 counties I cache most in, (Orange, Volusia, Seminole), all have Internet databases where you can search a map, clicking on the property in question to see who owns it. Kudos for trying to find out the rightful owner! Quote
+Col. Bucky Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 I was introduced to the online GIS services offered by most states. The North Carolina GIS plots show the properties in various formats and it's free. Here is the NC website to give you an idea: http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/gis/counties.html Quote
+dcsummerk Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 I have this issue too. Sometimes i wonder if i can put one there or not. I ussually do anyway. Quote
+ZeroHecksGiven Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 I just did this for a cache I want to place. A bit of work since I had to use a map to find the parcel number and then search that parcel number for the tax information and that may only lead to a name or mailing address... Quote
