Keep the property and LLC filing on the same page.

A county record names a company. A state filing names people. Put both source links beside the names before deciding who to research next. Download your worksheet as a CSV when you are done.

Keep your original ID, including any leading zeros.
Use the name on the deed or parcel record.
The source tying that name to the property.
Record exactly what the state filing says.
A document number only identifies a record within its issuing state.
Copy it exactly, including leading zeros.
Keep the actual registry record, not just a search result.
Leave blank until you have read the filing.
A registered agent receives legal papers; that role alone does not mean owner.
A matching name, city or mailing address alone is still a candidate.
For example, compare the deed date with the filing history.

Entries stay in this tab's memory. They are not sent to Locate. Closing or reloading the tab clears them, so download the CSV before leaving.

When opening the CSV in a spreadsheet, import ID and document-number columns as Text so leading zeros stay intact.

A useful order

Four links, four different questions.

The deed connects a property to a named owner. The state registry identifies a company. Its filing records a role. Finding contact details for that person is a separate step.

  • Property to companyCompare the recorded owner, deed, state number when present, and dates. One same-name company in a city is a candidate.
  • Company to filed personRead the current and older filings. Record the title exactly. A manager is not necessarily a member, and a registered agent is not necessarily an owner.
  • Unresolved stays unresolvedIf the records conflict or a source is missing, write the next check. Do not turn a plausible match into a confirmed person.
  • Take your notes with youThe CSV has stable column names. You can run it through the CRM CSV checker before importing it elsewhere.

Where to check a filing

Start with the business registry in the property’s state. Florida’s Division of Corporations search guide explains name, document-number, officer and registered-agent searches. California’s Secretary of State records guide explains which filings and images you can inspect. State records differ; a filing is evidence of what was reported, not a complete beneficial-ownership record.

This worksheet helps organize research. It does not search registries, verify a legal owner or supply contact information.
