Public ArcGIS MapServer endpoint for Ventura County parcel data. URL, supported fields, and a working sample query, copy it, or open it directly in the UrbanKit parcel lookup tool.
This page is the endpoint reference. If you came here to find a specific property, the Ventura County parcel search runs this same layer in your browser, no account and no API key.
Search Ventura County parcels →https://maps.ventura.org/arcgis/rest/services/SDs/Parcels/MapServer/0Field by field, whether any endpoint we index for Ventura 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.

Live query confirmed: SITUS LIKE '%1000 E MAIN%' returns real Ventura County parcel data. NOTE: Owner name is NOT exposed on this public layer; for ownership, use the county Assessor. (Why California counties differ on this is explained on the California state page.) APN is the base parcel number; APN10 is the 10-digit version. Land Value (L_V) and Improvement Value (I_V) are available. SITUS is the combined site address. Hosted on Ventura County's GIS server (maps.ventura.org). Capabilities: Map, Query, Data. maxRecordCount=1000.

Ventura County's Parcels layer exposes parcel identifiers (Assessor Parcel Number, APN (10-digit)) and address fields (Situs Address, Situs Street Name). Use it for address-to-PIN lookups and identifier queries. 4 of 12 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 2026-05-15.
/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.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 Ventura County actually publishes, not what you might expect from a national standard (there isn't one).
For background, see What is an APN?
maps.ventura.org serves Ventura 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.
We last verified Ventura County's MapServer layer on 2026-05-15. 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.
Ventura County's layer is hosted by the county on maps.ventura.org. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but maps.ventura.org 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.
