Anyone use this app to find owners of properties? I think it will be pretty helpful but it definitely does not always have the correct property boundaries or current, in last few years, landowner names. I didn’t realize who’s name was on some of the properties I know and I’ve always heard who owned it but I think it’ll help me locate property owners on some good places.

It seems to be a fairly robust tool, I do not own it yet and I'm also thinking of purchasing it. They have decent sales around Christmas, Fathers Day etc. but you're still into the annual fee, Premium package $30/per year and Elite $100/per year.
The one disadvantage that I ran into is that every real-estate agent thinks that he is now a land surveyor.

A buddy has it and he loves it. He is a huge migratory goose hunter and he finds it very helpful.

Had it last year found it be some what inaccurate in my neck of the woods..
couple neighboring properties have changed hands in the last few years and does not show the new owners for these properties...not sure why

Public and federal hunting lands are accurate...Helped me out a lot on these properties as to where the lines are..also some areas around me I never knew were public or federal..that was worth the cost of the subscription...


Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes......
Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....

I have Onx Hunt for other reasons but it could be used as you describe. However, I believe that Onx only has info that is available electronically. In other words, I don't think they go to county courthouses to look at plat maps and deed records. When plat book and deed record info is available via county GIS databases on the internet Onx incorporates it into their larger database. When I lived in Ky (moved 4 years ago), Ky did not have county GIS databases on the internet. This left me with going door to door asking permission to trap. Many other states have GIS databases (eg; Tn, NC, Va) and you can determine ownership and parcel boundaries by accessing them via the internet for free. The county GIS databases are also more likely to be up to date than Onx because Onx cannot keep up with every county database change on a real time basis. What Onx can do for you that the GIS databases cannot is show you on your phone or GPS exactly where you are standing relative to the parcel boundary.

I have it and I find it helpful. I run state land cattails after freeze up with the coon hounds and it's nice to be able to look on there and see state ground you never knew was there. It saves a lot of leg work for me. It does take a while for them to update land owners once a piece of land changes hands but otherwise I think it's a good tool to have.

Been using for 3 years. Worth every penny for the subscription. Gave me access to areas I wouldn’t have otherwise known about.

I love onX maps. I use the tracker feature on large tracts of land and mark all my sets with it. It’s amazing how you will see your property from a birds eye view, especially in relation to your set locations.

The maps are generally about two years old according to OnX. That’s why the private property names don’t change often. My dad died 3 years ago and his name is still on the map as an owner of a property.

Have it. Love it. I trap mostly public land and it helps me know and find new land and also tells me landowner names to get permissions

I have it and really like it. How have you guys used it to contact property owners? I haven’t been able to use info found on onX to then find contact info to ask for permission.

I have it and love it. It’s been invaluable while hunting in areas I am unfamiliar with. It has been great for trapping as well, easily showing property boundaries and I mark my sets on it as well. It can be used for digital scouting with its topo feature too. It’s been handy for learning landowner info when I’ve even been out looking for new farm ground to lease.

As far as accuracy, in my county it’s spot on. It matches the digital platt map perfectly.

It’s not spot on here in Kentucky but it’s close enough to be good enough I think. Surprised to see how many properties are in wife’s name.

I use it to find landowners names and info about finding properties to cut wood, find out who owns the land, then you can get info from the county clerk, usually you can verify there and then find an address or phone number. 80% of the land in Texas is owned by people who don’t necessarily live on the properties so it helps me there, lots of company owned land here too
