    What these endpoints answer

    Field by field, whether any endpoint we index for Warren 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

    Warren County, Kentucky (Bowling Green; FIPS 21227). Parcel_Reference, layer 0 of the WARCO FeatureServer on webgis.bgky.org (Warren County CCPC / Bowling Green-Warren County GIS): 60,931 parcels, maxRecordCount 2,000, pagination on, native State Plane feet (outSR=4326 works), CORS reflects the request Origin. The parcel id is PVA_PARCEL (property_id and map_no are alternates). The owner is Name (60,692 rows carry one; care_of is a second line), the situs is SiteAddress (60,756 rows) with SitusCity and ZIP_CODE, and the owner mailing address is mail_address with city, state and postal_code (the layer's plain 'city' and 'state' columns are the OWNER'S mailing city and state, not the situs: 2,249 rows read a state other than KY there, SitusState reads KY on every row). The layer also carries class, LAND_USE, ZONING, sale_price (set on 50,656 rows), year_purchase and deed_book_page. The sibling CCPC/CCPC_Parcels layer (60,929 rows) has no owner and is not used; the gis.bgky.org host no longer resolves. 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 (621 rows).

    Using this endpoint

    What Warren County publishes

    Warren County's Parcel_Reference layer exposes a parcel identifier (Parcel ID (PVA parcel number)), owner names (Owner Name), and address fields (Situs Address). Use it for owner-name lookups and address-based parcel searches. 3 of 14 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 Warren 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 Warren County's parcel layer from my own web app?

    webgis.bgky.org serves Warren 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 Warren County endpoint still current?

    We last verified Warren 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 Warren County parcel queries?

    Warren County's layer is hosted by the county on webgis.bgky.org. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but webgis.bgky.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.
