You should be able to go to the website for the county assessor's office, type in the property address and get tax information as well as the name of the owner.

@Korie Apgar Thank you for that information!

It has the most up to date/reliable information and it's connected directly to the MLS, so there is very little difference between this site and an agents MLS access.

Make sure to check out the Bigger Pockets Blog: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/It is full of really useful information.

Jegan - unfortunately you have not provide enough information to allow an intelligent response.

I am leaning away from this option.2) Pay the difference in the electric bills and chalk it up as the cost of doing business.3) Pay the difference in the electric bills up front and seek restitution from the contractor for causing the delay in the process, which resulted in the lengthy term of higher utility billing to the one apartment.4) Provide the tenant with the contractor's contact information and invite them to seek restitution directly.

I managed to track down the previous seller and informed him it was his responsibility to file a release of mortgage form and even provided him with a form already filled out for him to sign and notarize. 

@James JonesIn order to get an answer, you need to share some information.1) Was this home your primary residence?

I would like to start growing a solid list of people to mail deal information too so I can start getting my feet wet, so to speak!

BP has mountains of information for you to absorb and learn.
