Thread: How to find the owner of a farm.

Sounds like you need to familiarise yourself with the info available at data.linz.govt.nz

Create an account with that site, and request access to the 'restricted' info on this page: https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/805-...luding-owners/. Ensure you read, understand, and agree to the licence restictions, which also refers to info in the Privacy Act 1993.

It will likely take a few days to have your access to that info approved, but once you do, you can view the info on the map. Simply add that layer to the map by clicking on the big yellow + sign, and navigate to and click on the property parcel you're interested in. A small pop-up window will appear, showing, among other things, ownership information. You will have the name of a legal entity - an individual, a group of people, a trust, an Iwi, a company, whatever.

Go from there, and remember what Uncle Ben told Peter Parker before he became Spiderman - "With great power comes great responsibility". Don't be a dick with the information you have access to, or it may be taken away from you and other legitimate users.
