Who owns this LLC?

The registry record: the exact registered name, its ID number, entity type, the state it was formed in, its status, formation or registration date, principal office, the registered agent or the address for service of process, and the officers, directors, managers or principals where the state publishes them. Every record is drawn from the state's official business registry.

The properties recorded to that exact name in the records we can search by party name: deeds and mortgages in the City Register's records (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx), NYC housing agency building registrations, the assessment rolls of every New York county outside New York City, Philadelphia's property assessments and Illinois real estate transfer declarations filed since 2014, which also record who signed for the buyer and their title.

Search by the property address instead and the lookup first finds the owner of record (New York City, the rest of New York State, Philadelphia, Illinois, Texas and Utah County), then looks that company up. If the owner is a person, it says so without naming them.

Usually not from a state registry. New York, Colorado and Oregon do not publish an LLC's members. Texas lists officers, managers or directors on the Public Information Report each entity files with the Comptroller. Pennsylvania lists the officers or governors an entity named in its filings, and Connecticut lists the principals from the annual report. Those people are shown here as initials.

The fullest public trail of who acts for an LLC is often the property record: the person who signed the deed, the mortgage or the transfer declaration for it, and the people named on a NYC building registration. A title report reads those documents in full.

Each state's official business registry records are searched when you submit a name. Florida and Delaware entity records are not included in this lookup, and Delaware publishes no members.
