    What these endpoints answer

    Field by field, whether any endpoint we index for Los Angeles County answers it, and the evidence for each. We only call a field restricted when there is a stated reason we can cite. Everything else here is a fact about the services we index, not a claim about the law.

    Notes

    Los Angeles County is the most populous US county (pop. 10M+) and contains 88 incorporated cities plus a large unincorporated area. The Assessor Identification Number (AIN) is a 10-digit numeric code unique to each parcel. The public LACounty_Cache/LACounty_Parcel MapServer layer exposes AIN, APN, and SitusFullAddress (no owner name), because the county does not publish an owner column on this layer. (Why California counties differ on this is explained on the California state page.) For ownership data, use the LA County Assessor's portal at assessor.lacounty.gov; the Assessor's office manages roughly 2.5 million parcels and publishes annual assessment rolls. Re-verified live 2026-06-04, a sample AIN query returned a real parcel. The EGIS open-data hub at egis-lacounty.hub.arcgis.com has downloadable parcel shapefiles. AIN queries use exact match: AIN='4321002009' (no dashes).

    Using this endpoint

    What Los Angeles County publishes

    Los Angeles County's LA County Parcel layer exposes parcel identifiers (Assessor Identification Number (AIN), Assessor Parcel Number (formatted)) and address fields (Situs Address). Use it for address-to-PIN lookups and identifier queries. 3 of 8 listed fields accept queries; the rest are returned on read but not indexed for search. Served as an ArcGIS MapServer layer, which supports query operations but not write operations; last verified 2026-06-04.

    Two paths from URL to result

    1. Open in Parcel Lookup: click the button on the endpoint card. The lookup tool loads the layer, auto-detects fields, and gives you a search box. No code, no API keys, just a browser.
    2. Query directly: append /query?where=…&outFields=*&f=jsonto the URL. The sample query above is a working example you can paste into a browser tab to see the raw JSON response.

    Why field names vary by county

    Counties publish parcel data through their own ArcGIS Server installations, each with its own schema. One county uses APN, another uses PIN, a third uses PARCEL_ID. Some expose owner names; others keep them on a separate assessor's portal. The searchable fields list above reflects what Los Angeles County actually publishes, not what you might expect from a national standard (there isn't one).

    What to do with the results

    • Generate a public-notice mailing list: pipe the parcel layer URL into Radius Notice to buffer around an address and select neighboring owners.
    • Print Avery 5160 labels: export the result CSV and drop it into CSV → Labels.
    • Pull individual parcel records: use Parcel Lookup directly to grab zoning, assessed value, and ownership for one property at a time.

    Quick FAQs

    Can I query Los Angeles County's parcel layer from my own web app?

    public.gis.lacounty.gov serves Los Angeles County, California parcels over public ArcGIS REST, but, like most county servers, it may not send the CORS headers a browser needs for a cross-origin fetch. If a direct browser call fails, the layer still works from curl, Postman, or a server-side script; the UrbanKit parcel lookup tool proxies the request, so a search that succeeds there confirms the layer is genuinely public.

    Is the Los Angeles County endpoint still current?

    We last verified Los Angeles County's MapServer layer on 2026-06-04. County GIS teams move services without notice, so if you hit a fresh 404, tell us and we'll re-check. Atlas entries are re-verified on a rolling basis.

    Is there a rate limit on Los Angeles County parcel queries?

    Los Angeles County's layer is hosted by the county on public.gis.lacounty.gov. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but public.gis.lacounty.gov can throttle heavy automated traffic at the host level. Page through results with resultOffset / resultRecordCount and request only the fields you need. There's no API key and no charge from the county.
