Law/Patents - Real Estate
Spanish term or phrase: propietario y vecino
On a deed. Used to describe both the seller and buyer. Ex: Fulano de tal, mayor de edad, soltero, propietario y vecino de xxx, Puerto Rico....

Thanks to all in advance.

property owner and resident
Explanation:
In this context, the best translation of "propietario" might be the one that simply conveys the idea that the person owns property/real estate (and not necessarily a "home"); it might a commercial/residential building, a condo or even a farm.

It depends on the context. If it refers to the property in question, then this is it. If not, it would be "homeowner and resident of" (as someone has already mentioned)
