    What these endpoints answer

    Field by field, whether any endpoint we index for Riverside 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.

    APN AnsweredDocumented in a field list on an endpoint we index. Not every row is populated.
    Owner name Not publishedPARCELS_CREST's own service description names PRIMARY_OWNER and ALL_OWNER_LIST as fields, but the live fields array returned by the public endpoint (?f=json) has no such column, and naming PRIMARY_OWNER in outFields fails with 'Failed to execute query.' The joined CREST tables on the same service carry no owner-name column either, and Riverside's other public host (arcgis_public) exposes only APN and FLAG on its Assessor Parcel layer, so no owner name is published on any Riverside County public REST endpoint found.

    Notes

    Riverside County publishes assessor parcels on its arcgis_mapping host as layer 50 PARCELS_CREST of the OpenData/Assessor MapServer. The layer carries the APN, the situs address (SITUS_STREET, SITUS_CITY and the street components), the owner's mailing address without a name (MAIL_STREET, MAIL_CITY), and the subdivision, acreage, land-use class and assessed land and structure values. The service description names PRIMARY_OWNER and ALL_OWNER_LIST fields, but the public schema carries neither, and naming PRIMARY_OWNER in outFields fails with 'Failed to execute query.' Owner name is therefore recorded as not published (see capabilityOverrides). The county's other public host, arcgis_public, exposes only APN and FLAG on its parcel layer. CORS reflects the request's Origin. Re-verified 2026-09-26: the layer holds 846,251 parcels and a situs-city query returned live rows.

    Using this endpoint

    What Riverside County publishes

    Riverside County's PARCELS_CREST layer exposes a parcel identifier (Assessor's Parcel Number) and address fields (Site Street Address, Site City, Mailing Street Address). Use it for address-to-PIN lookups and identifier queries. 4 of 11 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 2026-09-26.

    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 Riverside 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 Riverside County's parcel layer from my own web app?

    gis.countyofriverside.us serves Riverside 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 Riverside County endpoint still current?

    We last verified Riverside County's MapServer layer on 2026-09-26. 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 Riverside County parcel queries?

    Riverside County's layer is hosted by the county on gis.countyofriverside.us. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but gis.countyofriverside.us 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.
