You can also check County Assessor property records online.
I've used this method for LA County and Kern County. I'd guess other counties provide similar means.

Mike,
I was able to the last time I checked, well over a year ago. https://www.kerncounty.com/TaxPortal/
Generally, I don't waste time checking to see if where I'm going is on PP. If I get there and there is no free access I don't bother with the peak and go elsewhere. If I see PP signs or locked gates I don't enter. Only one exception so far: Baldy Mtn W6/CT-105 from SR-74 near Mountain Center. A forest road to the summit crosses a fenced and gated road with PP signs, NO TRESPASSING OR WE'll SEE TO IT THAT YOU'RE LOCKED UP (something like that). Ordinarily I'd have turned around, gotten in my car and gone elsewhere. However, it just so happened that it was the first day of deer hunting season and there were groups of well armed hunters passing over the gate and continuing up the road to the continuation of National Forest land. As I was observing, a truck with a couple of game wardens drove up. I asked if it was OK to cross and they said that it was but the property owners (a community property) ask that if you carry firearms to UNLOADED them before crossing. A case of good/lucky timing - problem resolved.
An area in Kern County that I don't bother with is the Tehachapi
Mountains. Though Tehachapi Mountain in particular is on the
Sierra Club Hundred Peaks List, I know that it is on PP. There
was a rather lengthy article online from a local Tehachapi
newspaper particularly about that summit that told of the property
owner refusing to open access to the peak to hikers or any other
kind of recreation. The owner is a CA Assemblyman (something of
that sort). The article has since vanished... Yet for years the
summit has been on the Sierra Club list. I actually did hike to
that summit once, well before SOTA and I encountered no PP signs.
When SOTA started, I hiked up and encountered a flimsy PP sign
(would have been easy to tear down) so, I turned around... Had
the sign not been there, I'd have gone on up the short distance to
the summit.
I get the feeling that the owner doesn't really care if hikers tag the summit. Probably doesn't specifically allow hikers in order to avoid liability should an injury occur and a law suit follow... Why would you allow the public on your property if you understand any one of them may sue you should he stumble and scrape his knee?? I don't know, don't care about that one, won't cross the line, not interested in getting the points. Though, if you search the web, you'll find plenty of postings of hikers going there and on to Double Mountain (also PP).
Good Luck,
Dan NA6MG
