Before you lean on the lines

Trusts, estates and LLCs
If you're looking near Carlyle, the owner field shows who the tax bill names, and that isn't always a person. An estate listed as owner near Yates often points to an open probate, so the personal representative is the contact.
When you need more than the map
If the land is near Carlyle, the parcel record is not proof of title; for that, pull the deed from the County Clerk and Recorder.
Writing to an owner
A short letter to the mailing address on the record gets more replies than a cold call about a tract near Yates.
Recorded documents worth pulling
For anything that matters, request the recorded deed from the County Clerk and Recorder; the parcel line is a drawing of it, and that holds around Yates too. Long-held tracts around Lamesteer National Wildlife Refuge may trace back through many deeds, so a title company earns its fee on a real sale.
