Oxnard, California
Ventura County does not publish owner names online — the Assessor offers them only at in-office terminals, and its bulk roll comes under an agreement barring web publication. Oxnard's 2026-27 roll stands at $28.75B.

Can you find out who owns it?
California has no public title register: ownership is proved by deeds recorded with the County Recorder, and the County Assessor keeps the roll. The Ventura County Assessor says plainly that 'online ownership searches are not available'; owner names can be looked up in person on the office's self-service computers, and its free online search returns property characteristics by parcel number or address. Bulk roll data comes only through a Public Records Act request with a signed agreement that forbids putting the records on the web except behind a password and with the Assessor's written approval. Under Proposition 13 a sale resets a parcel's value to its price.

The marquee buildings
The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.
| Building | Use | Owner | Owner type | Last price paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Port of Hueneme 333 Ponoma St, Port Hueneme, CA 93041 (in the City of Port Hueneme, not Oxnard) |
Industrial | Oxnard Harbor District The Port says it was 'established in 1937 as the Oxnard Harbor District' and that the District, 'an independent Special District', 'owns and manages the Port of Hueneme'; five elected Harbor Commissioners set policy and the District's boundaries include the cities of Oxnard and Port Hueneme. The deep-water port itself sits in the City of Port Hueneme beside Naval Base Ventura County, not inside Oxnard's city limits; it is recorded here because Oxnard's own Harbor District owns it. The District's FY2025 ACFR describes Oxnard holdings outside the port: a 34-acre auto-parking parcel on East Hueneme Road and a 250-acre site 2.4 miles east of the Central Gate it plans as an enterprise zone. |

| Former Limoneira Oxnard Lemon packing facility (cold storage, rail-served) Oxnard, CA (13-acre light-industrial site; street address not stated in the sources) 13 acres |
Industrial | Ventura County Railway Company, LLC (owned by the Oxnard Harbor District) Limoneira announced on 31 Oct 2022 that it had closed the sale of its 'Oxnard Lemon Packing Facility' to Ventura County Railway Company for $20 million in cash, with Limoneira leasing back wash and storage space. The Harbor District's FY2025 ACFR says the railway company, 'a company owned by the District', bought a 13-acre light-industrial site with cold storage and rail service in Oxnard for $20M in October 2022, on a loan from the Port. The same LLC also owns an investment property on Market Street and leases its tracks to Genesee & Wyoming. |
Government | $20M 2022-10 Cash price stated by the seller, Limoneira, on closing (31 Oct 2022) and by the District's FY2025 ACFR; the District lent the railway the purchase money. B |
| Oxnard Airport (OXR) Oxnard, CA (FAA site 02001) 230 acres (FAA) |
Civic | County of Ventura The FAA's airport master record (1 Oct 2026 cycle) lists OXR as publicly owned and public-use, owner 'COUNTY OF VENTURA' (Department of Airports address in Camarillo), 230 acres, activation April 1942, with a control tower. The County's airport website (airports.venturacounty.gov) returned 403 and was not read. |

| Channel Islands Harbor 3900 Pelican Way, Oxnard, CA 93035 (Harbor Department) |
Mixed use | County of Ventura (Ventura County Harbor Department) Channel Islands Harbor is run by the Ventura County Harbor Department, whose director signs the harbor's monthly message. The Department leases harbor land to private operators: for the Fisherman's Wharf site it issued an RFP in 2022, and in May 2024 the Ventura County Board of Supervisors approved a lease option and lease to Karls for an approximately 11-acre leasehold, about 6 acres of it to be redeveloped; the Coastal Commission approved the project on 14 Aug 2025. Marinas, restaurants and hotels in the harbor are leaseholds on County land; the source does not give the harbor's total acreage. |

| Esplanade Shopping Center Esplanade Dr at US 101 and Oxnard Blvd, Oxnard, CA 357,000 sq ft · 1 floors |
Retail | Primestor Development The Business Times reports that the grocery-anchored Esplanade Shopping Center sold for $90 million, per an 8 April 2024 press release, and that Primestor Development, a Los Angeles real estate development and investment firm, bought the 357,000-square-foot centre. The full article is paywalled; buyer, price and size are in the free lede. The owning LLC's name was not read; under California practice it would appear on the recorded deed, which the County does not put online. The original enclosed mall opened in 1970 and was rebuilt as an open-air centre from 2001. |

| The Collection at RiverPark 2751 Park View Ct (centre area), Oxnard, CA 93036 650,000 sq ft |
Retail | Not established a paid title search would answer it Not established. The Business Times describes The Collection as a 650,000-square-foot open-air retail centre and gives 2751 as its street number. Wikipedia names Shea Properties as the developer, but no source read states who holds title today, and no SEC filing found by full-text search mentions 'Collection at RiverPark' or 'RiverPark' with Oxnard. The owner of record is obtainable only at the County Assessor's in-office terminals or from the recorded deed. |

| St. John's Regional Medical Center 1600 N Rose Ave, Oxnard, CA 93030 241 licensed beds |
Institutional | Not established the jurisdiction does not disclose owners Not established. The State's licensed-facility file (data date 16 Sep 2026) lists St Johns Regional Medical Center as a 241-bed general acute care hospital whose licensee is Dignity Health, a nonprofit corporation (part of CommonSpirit Health). A licence names the operator, not the title holder; no deed, bond disclosure or filing naming the land owner was read. |

| Naval Base Ventura County (Point Mugu and Port Hueneme) Point Mugu and Port Hueneme, CA (adjacent to Oxnard, outside its city limits) |
Institutional | United States (Department of the Navy) The FAA's airport master record lists the Point Mugu NAS airfield (NTD), 'POINT MUGU NAS (NAVAL BASE VENTURA CO)', as military and names its owner 'US NAVY'. The base's two main installations, Point Mugu and the Port Hueneme Construction Battalion Center, lie south and west of Oxnard in unincorporated Ventura County and the City of Port Hueneme, not inside Oxnard. It is listed here because it is the largest landholding on the Oxnard Plain; the FAA record gives no base acreage and no Navy real-property inventory was read. |

| Mandalay Generating Station (retired) Mandalay Beach Rd / Harbor Blvd area, Oxnard, CA 560 MW (former capacity) |
Industrial | Not established a paid title search would answer it Not established. GenOn's 2017 restructuring materials list Mandalay (560 MW, units dating from 1959-1970) as held by NRG California South LP, a GenOn subsidiary. Al Jazeera reported in April 2022 that the plant had been dormant since 2018 and, citing the Ventura County Star, that the site had recently been sold to an LLC formed earlier that year for around $8.7 million; it does not name the LLC. The price is second-hand, so it is not entered as an acquisition. NRG's 2025 subsidiary list includes 'NRG Energy Center Oxnard LLC', a different, unnamed Oxnard asset, not Mandalay. |

| Procter & Gamble paper plant Oxnard, CA (street address not stated in the filing) |
Industrial | Not established a paid title search would answer it Not established as title. A 2005 P&G 10-Q refers to 'the subsidiary's Oxnard, California plant', the subsidiary being The Procter & Gamble Paper Products Company, in an air-rules settlement with the Ventura County APCD (liability estimated at no more than $406,000). That shows the subsidiary operating the plant, not who holds the land. P&G's 10-Ks count manufacturing sites by state without naming cities, and full-text search finds no other P&G filing naming Oxnard. |
Not established | —A |
| Haas Automation headquarters and factory Oxnard, CA |
Industrial | Not established a paid title search would answer it Not established. Haas Automation, Inc., a privately held machine-tool builder, has its corporate headquarters and manufacturing plant in Oxnard (about 1,300 employees there in 2018, per Wikipedia). Whether the company or a related entity holds the land was not checked: no filing or public record read names the title holder, and the company files nothing with the SEC. |

| Oxnard Transportation Center 201 E Fourth St, Oxnard, CA 93030 |
Civic | Not established the source would not open Not established. The City's GIS layer of City-owned parcels shows many City parcels in the surrounding downtown blocks, including 2.43 acres at 250 E Third St and 1.87 and 2.40-acre parcels nearby, but no City parcel intersects the station's geocoded address point. The City's own pages (oxnard.gov) sit behind a Cloudflare block, so its description of the station's ownership could not be read. The Union Pacific line through the station is not in the City layer. |

2
The core land
The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.
3
Who owns the town
At this scale the significant owner is rarely a trust or a fund: it is one or two local holding companies, a family in its second or third generation, and often the land around the town rather than the buildings in it.
5
Who builds the houses
New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.
6
Commercial landlords
The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.
