> Why does it matter if owner is known or not known?

Sometimes you need to contact your neighbor. If they don't live there (or if you don't live there) that can be hard without an actual name and address.

I manage a rental property. I've needed to talk to all the adjoining properties at some point for fence issues, tree issues, and noise issues. They are all rental properties, so none of us live in the houses (college town).

It's taken me 20 years to collect the contact info of two of the three adjoining properties. We still haven't managed to contact the owners of the property in the back.

Our house is the only one with an actual name and address. The others are trusts or LLCs.
