    What these endpoints answer

    Field by field, whether any endpoint we index for Daviess County answers it, and the evidence for each. We only call a field restricted when there is a stated reason we can cite. Everything else here is a fact about the services we index, not a claim about the law.

    Notes

    Daviess County, Kentucky (Owensboro; FIPS 21059). The 'Hosted/Parcel' FeatureServer on gis.owensboro.org (City of Owensboro / Owensboro-Daviess GIS), layer 0: 48,023 parcels, maxRecordCount 2,000, pagination on, native State Plane feet (outSR=4326 works), CORS reflects the request Origin. The parcel id is parcel_id (map_no, gis_id and property_i are alternates). The owner is 'name' (care_of is a second line; every one of the 48,023 rows carries a name), the situs is prop_addre, and the owner mailing address is mail_addre plus city_st_zi, one combined city/state/ZIP string. The columns are lower-case and truncated to ten characters (prop_addre, mail_addre, city_st_zi). The layer carries no assessed value or sale price, only a deed book reference. The county's older web maps point at gis.daviesskypva.org, which no longer resolves, and the County/ and WebLayers/ folders on this host need a token. No terms are published on the service. Verified 2026-10-09 by a count, field list, owner fill count and a count of the sample query's predicate (374 rows).

    Using this endpoint

    What Daviess County publishes

    Daviess County's parcel layer exposes a parcel identifier (Parcel ID), owner names (Owner Name), and address fields (Situs Address). Use it for owner-name lookups and address-based parcel searches. 3 of 8 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 2026-10-09.

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

    gis.owensboro.org serves Daviess County, Kentucky 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 Daviess County endpoint still current?

    We last verified Daviess County's FeatureServer layer on 2026-10-09. 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 Daviess County parcel queries?

    Daviess County's layer is hosted by the county on gis.owensboro.org. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but gis.owensboro.org 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.
