How do I found who lives on a street? If you are asking that question, this article has the answer. The great news is, you can usually do it for free. Whether you want to find who lives on a street for investment purposes or personal reasons these steps will get you there.

Instructions

1. Do a reverse address lookup.

   If you are really looking for one address in particular this can be an easy route to go. There are plenty of reverse address search sites available online now. Most of them will give you the name and address for free then ask you to sign up for more information, or even pay. But since you only want to find who lives on a street this will give you what you need. You can also call 411 to get this information one address at at time.

2. Figure out which county the street is in.

   If you need to know everyone who lives on a street, one of the best steps you can take is to find out what county the street exists in. If it runs through more than one county, write down the name of both. An online map that includes county boundary lines may be helpful.

3. Use the county government's website resources.

   Address and owner information is free public knowledge due to taxes, assessments, and other government controlled issues. To find who lives on a street, simply go to the assessor's office page or the record of deed's office page if they are online. Type in the street name and a list of properties will appear with that street name. Write down the name from each property. This will also give you property value, tax level, purchase price and parcel information.

4. Pay for more information if needed.

   If you need more information on who lives on a street, such as previous addresses, you will likely have to pay for the information unless you want to take a great deal of time to do some sleuthing. Reverse address lookup sites usually hold this kind of information in their database for a fee.
