    Notes

    McHenry County (northernmost Illinois collar county, bordering Wisconsin; county seat Woodstock, pop. 315,000) includes Crystal Lake, Elgin (partial), and the Fox River corridor. The legacy on-prem server at mchenrycountygis.org/arcgis/rest/services/parcels/MapServer was firewalled (HTTP 403) in early 2026. The replacement is now hosted on the county's ArcGIS Online open-data hub at data-mchenrycountygis.opendata.arcgis.com, with the McHenry_County_TaxParcels FeatureServer (services1.arcgis.com/6iYC5AXXYapRVNzl) as the canonical public endpoint. The license is 'open-data', permitting unrestricted use. Roughly 150k parcels, 50+ fields including ParcelNumber, Owner (owner name, searchable via UPPER() LIKE), MailToAddress1, MailToAddress2, MailToCity, MailToState, MailToZip, SiteAddress, SiteAddressHouseNumber, SiteAddressStreetName, SiteAddressStreetType, SiteAddressSuffix, SiteAddressCity, SiteAddressZip, PropertyClass, TaxStatus, and taxing-district assignment fields (Library, ParkDistrict, FireDistrict, GradeSchoolDistrict, HighSchoolDistrict). Owner field exposes the legal owner name; MailToAddress reflects the billing addressee, which may differ for trusts and entities. The open-data hub at data-mchenrycountygis.opendata.arcgis.com has bulk download links for the same dataset.

    Using this endpoint

    What McHenry County publishes

    McHenry County's McHenry County TaxParcels layer exposes a parcel identifier (Parcel Number), owner names (Owner), and address fields (Site Address, Site Address City, Mailing Address (line 1)). Use it for owner-name lookups and address-based parcel searches. 5 of 6 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.

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

    For background, see What is an APN?

    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 McHenry County's parcel layer from my own web app?

    services1.arcgis.com serves McHenry County, Illinois 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 McHenry County endpoint still current?

    We last verified McHenry 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.

    Is there a rate limit on McHenry County parcel queries?

    McHenry County's layer is hosted on Esri ArcGIS Online. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but services1.arcgis.com 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.
