https://gis.colorado.gov/public/rest/services/Address_and_Parcel/Colorado_Public_Parcels/FeatureServer/0Field by field, whether any endpoint we index for Douglas 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.

Douglas County, Colorado (the Denver-Colorado Springs corridor (Highlands Ranch, Parker, Castle Rock, Lone Tree); FIPS 08035) is served by the Colorado OIT statewide parcel composite, Colorado_Public_Parcels FeatureServer/0. Filter countyName='Douglas' to scope to Douglas County; the stored countyFips value is '035' (the layer keeps a county-only code, not the 5-digit FIPS). Same schema and endpoint as El Paso and Jefferson counties. Verified 2026-10-10 with an Origin: https://urbankitstudio.com header: countyName='Douglas' counts 164,818 rows, owner populated on over 99.9%, situs address on 88% and owner mailing address on over 99.9%, and an owner-name SMITH search matches 1,152 rows. This is a state roll-up, not the county's own layer: every Douglas row carries dateReceived 2026-04-21, the day the state loaded the county's data, so ownership can trail the Assessor's live roll.

Douglas County's Colorado_Public_Parcel_Composite layer exposes a parcel identifier (Parcel ID), owner names (Owner Name, Owner Name 2), and address fields (Situs Address). Use it for owner-name lookups and address-based parcel searches. 6 of 13 listed fields accept queries; the rest are returned on read but not indexed for search. Served as an ArcGIS FeatureServer layer, so edits and applyEdits operations are technically exposed (read access only is published here); last verified 2026-10-10.
/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 Douglas County actually publishes, not what you might expect from a national standard (there isn't one).

gis.colorado.gov serves Douglas County, Colorado 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 Douglas County's FeatureServer layer on 2026-10-10. 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.
Douglas County's layer is hosted by the county on gis.colorado.gov. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but gis.colorado.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.
