Does anyone know if I could go look up ownership of parcels of land in my city? I don’t really need a hiking map, I was just wondering if there was a government database or something where I could look up who owned what.

In the US this tends to be done at the city or county level, as far as I know. In my state each city has their own land parcel database that they make available.

That said, this commenter pointed to https://regrid.com as a company that aggregates all this local data and provides a nationwide parcel map - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33755133.

Regrid looks great and might work for you.

Ah, yes, this is pretty close to what I needed. I across referenced it with my county's parcel survey :)

If you're in Germany, ALKIS I think shows what you're looking for. If in the Netherlands, check PDOK.

Your username somehow gives me an Indian vibe though, so not sure if this was helpful. Might help to specify which city or area you're asking after.
