property owner
Deed-holding individual
A property owner is someone who holds legal title to real estate—land, buildings, or both.
The term appears frequently in legal contexts, tax discussions, and neighborhood disputes: Property owners are responsible for maintaining their sidewalks.
It emphasizes the formal relationship to the asset rather than mere residence; a tenant lives somewhere, but the property owner holds the deed.
