    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

    Can I query Kauai County's parcel layer from my own web app?

    geodata.hawaii.gov serves Kauai County, Hawaii 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.

    Is the Kauai County endpoint still current?

    We last verified Kauai County's MapServer layer on 2026-06-20. 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.

    Is there a rate limit on Kauai County parcel queries?

    Kauai County's layer is hosted by the county on geodata.hawaii.gov. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but geodata.hawaii.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.
