    — Notes

    Kauai County HI (the island of Kauai plus Niihau; county seat Lihue; FIPS 15007; pop. ~73,000) parcels are published on the State of Hawaii statewide GIS portal (geodata.hawaii.gov ParcelsZoning/MapServer/9, 'Kauai County Parcels', ~25,119 features, no token required). Hawaii uses the Tax Map Key (TMK) system rather than a conventional APN: tmk_txt is the 9-digit TMK, cty_tmk the 8-digit county form. Key fields: owner (owner name — searchable), tmk_txt (9-digit TMK), cty_tmk (8-digit TMK). Owner-name search via UPPER(owner) LIKE UPPER('%NAME%') works. Verified 2026-06-20: UPPER(owner) LIKE UPPER('%SMITH%') returns Kauai parcels. Hawaii has only 5 county-equivalents statewide; each of the four main counties (Honolulu, Hawaii, Maui, Kauai) is a separate layer on the statewide ParcelsZoning service.

    Using this endpoint

    What Kauai County publishes

    Kauai County's Kauai County Parcels layer exposes a parcel identifier (Tax Map Key (9-digit TMK / APN)) and owner names (Owner Name). Use it for owner-name lookups and PIN-keyed record pulls. All 3 listed fields accept queries. Served as an ArcGIS MapServer layer, which supports query operations but not write operations; last verified 2026-06-20.

    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 Kauai 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

    This URL gives me a CORS error in my own app — what now?

    Many county servers allow public reads but block browser cross-origin requests. The UrbanKit parcel lookup tool fetches directly from your browser; if it works there, the layer is technically public. For your own integration, you may need a same-origin proxy or server-side fetch.

    The endpoint loaded last week and now returns 404. Did the URL change?

    Possibly — counties move services without warning. We re-verify entries weekly and flag stale ones. If you're seeing a fresh 404, please let us know and we'll update the listing.

    Are these endpoints free to query at scale?

    Most are. Public ArcGIS layers don't typically rate-limit individual reads, but heavy programmatic use can trigger throttling at the host level. Be respectful — query what you need.
