El Paso County (Colorado Springs metro, pop. 730,000, county seat Colorado Springs) is the second-most populous Colorado county and home to Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, and Schriever Space Force Base. Like all Colorado counties, it uses the Colorado Governor's OIT statewide composite endpoint, query by countyName='El Paso' or countyFips='041' (the statewide layer uses the 3-digit county FIPS, not the full 5-digit '08041'). Owner query confirmed live with real Colorado Springs results (e.g., 'SMITH CHERYL LYNNE'). The composite layer exposes parcel_id, owner/owner2, ownerAdd/ownAddCty/ownAddStt/ownAddZip, situsAdd/sitAddCty/sitAddZip, legalDesc, landSqft/landAcres, zoningCode/zoningDesc, landUseCde/landUseDsc, saleDate, salePrice, apprValTot, asedValTot, and dateReceived (currency indicator for when each county's data was loaded). The El Paso County Assessor at assessor.elpasoco.com handles formal reassessment disputes. Colorado assesses on a biennial cycle, unlike Illinois or California, which use triennial or annual schedules.

El Paso 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 2026-05-15.

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 El Paso County actually publishes, not what you might expect from a national standard (there isn't one).

gis.colorado.gov serves El Paso 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 El Paso County's FeatureServer 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.
El Paso 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.
