Does the Holmes County, Florida parcel map search by name?
Usually yes; enter the last name only on the Holmes County qPublic map and narrow the Holmes County results from there.

It means the Holmes County parcel is still titled to a deceased owner's estate; the personal representative named in probate is the contact.

It reflects the assessor's last update, so a sale recorded recently in Holmes County may not appear for weeks or months.
Why does a Holmes County parcel list an LLC or trust as owner?
A tract around Esto held in trust is legally owned by the trust, so the trustee, not the beneficiaries, is the contact.
Does the Holmes County record list a phone number for the owner?
