DeKalb County (pop. 764,000; Atlanta metro east and north core) should not be confused with DeKalb County IL (FIPS 17037) or DeKalb County IN in the atlas. The GA DeKalb parcel REST layer at dcgis.dekalbcountyga.gov/hosted/rest/services/Parcels/MapServer exposes 20+ confirmed fields. PARCELID is an 11-digit identifier with spaces (e.g., '06 249 03 007') reflecting district, map sheet, block, and parcel components. Owner fields: OWNERNME1/2. Site address: SITEADDRESS. The CVTTXCD and CVTTXDSCRP fields identify the city/tax district, which matters because several cities -- Decatur, Brookhaven, Dunwoody, Tucker, Doraville, Stone Mountain -- maintain separate municipal boundaries within the county. SCHLTXCD and SCHLDSCRP identify the school tax district. Classification: USECD, USEDSCRP, CLASSCD, CLASSDSCRP, and PRPRTYDSCRP. Verified 2026-05-15: SMITH returns Doraville and Atlanta-DeKalb addresses. For full assessment and exemption records, the DeKalb County Tax Commissioner portal at tax.dekalbcountyga.gov is the authoritative lookup.

DeKalb County's Tax Parcels layer exposes a parcel identifier (Parcel ID), owner names (Owner Name 1), and address fields (Site Address). Use it for owner-name lookups and address-based parcel searches. 3 of 7 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.

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

dcgis.dekalbcountyga.gov serves DeKalb County, Georgia 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 DeKalb 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.
DeKalb County's layer is hosted by the county on dcgis.dekalbcountyga.gov. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but dcgis.dekalbcountyga.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.
