What the owner name means
If you're looking near Crestview Hills, the owner field shows who the tax bill names, which may be a person, a trust, a company or an estate. An estate listed as owner near Covington usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, and the executor handles questions.
Confirming with the deed

Reading the legal description

Backing up the map with records

Making contact
Say which parcel near Fort Wright, what you'd like and your contact details; absentee owners near Covington often live elsewhere.
Before you lean on the lines
Listed acreage is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines on land around Crestview Hills. On ground around Covington, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
