A homeowner list with phone and email by ZIP code comes from one of four sellers: a mailing-list broker such as Melissa, which prices property-owner lists at $60 per 1,000 records as of October 2026; a subscription database such as Data Axle’s Salesgenie, from $99 a month; a skip-trace service such as BatchData, run on addresses you pull yourself; or a managed file from Scout Data, with one owner-matched mobile and a DNC status on every row. Those are not four prices for the same product. They differ on who decides which homes belong to the ZIP, and on whether the phone belongs to the person on the deed.
Most orders start the same way: sales hands the data buyer a column of ZIP codes and asks for “every homeowner in these, with a phone.” This page is for that buyer, on an outbound floor in solar, roofing or home services. It covers the four routes, what the file has to carry before a dialer can use it, and the ways a ZIP quietly misleads.
Disclosure: Scout Data is our product and sells homeowner files to call centers. Read our row as a maker’s pitch and the others as our reading of each vendor’s own pricing page.
Four ways to buy a ZIP
Per thousand, from a list broker
The oldest route. Melissa publishes property-owner lists at $60 per 1,000 records, consumer lists at $25 per 1,000 and new homeowners at $100 per 1,000. USAData prices per record with volume discounts and prints no rate; ListGiant quotes on request and offers a free data sample. These files were built for the mailbox: the key is a name at an address, and anything you dial was appended to it. How a compiled file differs from one built from the deed is in telemarketing lists for home services.
By the month, from a subscription database
You draw the ZIPs, set the filters and pull contacts as you go. Salesgenie, from Data Axle, starts at $99 a month on a 12-month term. PropStream’s Essentials plan is $99 a month plus 12¢ per skip-traced contact; PropertyRadar’s Solo plan is $119 a month with 250 phones and emails included. These suit one person building lists; a floor pays the seat for each user.
Pull it yourself, then skip-trace
Take owner names and addresses from the county or a platform and send them for an append. BatchData’s plans start at $2,000 a month for up to 100,000 skip traces and include phones, email, a DNC flag and a litigator scrub. Tracerfy charges $0.02 a hit with misses free; REISkip charges $0.15 a match. You own the cut. The vendor owns the match, and whether it reaches the owner depends on which address you sent.
Delivered, from a managed data service
Scout Data cuts the ZIPs from property records, matches one live mobile by name to the owner on title, scrubs it against the registry and delivers a new batch every week, suppressed against everything already delivered and re-cut from your own dialer logs. Wrong and dead numbers are replaced. On the last files we measured, 3.40% of 14,741 agent-tagged calls were wrong or dead numbers.

What the ZIP file has to carry before it reaches a dialer
Whatever the route, check the columns before the price. A row that a setter can dial and a row that a mail house can print are different rows.
- The owner on title. The name on the last recorded deed, not the name of whoever the phone file last saw at the address.
- An owner-occupied flag, with its rule. It is usually derived, most often by matching the property address to the tax mailing address. Ask how it was set; homeowner data fields explained sorts the recorded fields from the derived and modelled ones.
- One mobile, matched to that owner. Three numbers associated with an address give a setter three chances at a renter or a former owner. One number matched by name gives one chance at the person who can say yes.
- An email, if you follow up by email. Ask whether it is verified or only appended, and whether it costs extra.
- A DNC status and the date of the scrub. Without the date you cannot tell when the file has to be scrubbed again.
Add the property ZIP as text and a timezone column derived from it, and the file loads without editing. The full column set, and the check to run before a list goes live, is in dialer-ready lead lists.
A ZIP is a mail route, not a territory
The Postal Service draws ZIP codes to deliver mail. Nobody drew them to match a county, a city or a utility, and they routinely cross all three. That is harmless on a postcard and expensive on a phone.
The pitch may change inside one ZIP. A solar offer that turns on a utility’s rates can straddle two utilities in a single ZIP. A roofing floor working permits can find one ZIP split between two permit offices. If the script depends on the boundary, order by the boundary — county, city or utility territory — and keep the ZIP for mail and calling windows.
Which ZIP did the seller cut on? A home has a property address and an owner mailing address, and they are not always in the same ZIP. A cut on the mailing ZIP brings in people who live in your ZIPs and own somewhere else, and drops the landlords who own in your ZIPs and live elsewhere. Whether you want those landlords is a separate question, worked through in how to find absentee owners.
ZIPs change. The Postal Service adds and redraws them, and some deliver only to post office boxes. A ZIP list taken from an old file can miss a new subdivision entirely and return rows with nothing to call.
Your ZIPs are everyone’s ZIPs. A compiled file is sold to anyone who asks for the same selects in the same ZIPs. The homeowner your setter calls on Tuesday may have heard the same opener on Monday. What that does to the real price of a row is in homeowner data cost per record.
Send these questions with the ZIP list
- Is the cut on the property ZIP or the owner’s mailing ZIP?
- How is owner-occupied decided, and from what record?
- Is the phone matched to the owner by name, or to the address?
- Is email included, and was it verified or only appended?
- When was the file scrubbed against the Do Not Call Registry, and is the date on the row?
- Will the next order be suppressed against this one?
A seller who answers all six in writing has told you more than a sample spreadsheet will. A 1,000-row test dialed in your own ZIPs, next to the file you buy today, tells you the rest. If you only need the phones, the sellers and their per-number prices are compared in homeowner phone numbers for cold calling.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I get a homeowner list with phone and email by zip code?
From four kinds of seller. Mailing-list brokers such as Melissa sell property-owner lists by the thousand. Subscription databases such as Data Axle’s Salesgenie let you draw the ZIPs and pull contacts yourself. Skip-trace services such as BatchData add phones and emails to a list you pulled. Managed data services such as Scout Data cut the ZIPs for you and deliver one owner-matched mobile per home, DNC-scrubbed. Ask each one whether the phone is matched to the owner on title or only to the address.
How much does a homeowner list by zip code cost?
As published on October 2, 2026: Melissa’s property-owner mailing lists cost $60 per 1,000 records with a $25 minimum order; Salesgenie starts at $99 a month on a 12-month subscription; PropertyRadar’s $119/month Solo plan includes 250 phones and emails a month, then 8¢ each; BatchData’s skip-tracing plans start at $2,000 a month for up to 100,000 skip traces. Scout Data quotes one monthly rate after a free 1,000-record test.
Should I buy a homeowner list by zip code or by county?
By whatever boundary your pitch depends on. ZIP codes are postal delivery routes and can cross county lines, city limits and utility territories. If the offer turns on a utility rate, a permit office or a county program, cut by that boundary and keep the ZIP as a column for mail and calling windows.
Do I have to scrub a purchased zip code list against the Do Not Call Registry?
Yes, if you make sales calls to it. Under the FTC’s Telemarketing Sales Rule, registered numbers must be removed using a copy of the National Do Not Call Registry no more than 31 days old, so a list scrubbed when it was bought goes out of date while you dial it. Buying the list does not move the obligation to the seller. This is not legal advice.
