    Notes

    Montgomery County is Maryland's most populous county (pop. 1.06 million; county seat Rockville) and one of the wealthiest in the US. The MCAtlas_Property_Points FeatureServer on mcmaps.org (mcmaps.org/server11) is the county's ArcGIS Server backing the MCAtlas web viewer; it exposes 97 fields as point geometry. Live query confirmed 351,703 parcels. Owner-name search uses UPPER() LIKE on OWNERS_NAME. Key fields: TAX_NO (Maryland 8-digit tax account number), OWNERS_NAME, OWNERS_NAME2, OWNERS_ADDR1/ADDR2/ADDR3, OWNERS_CITY/STATE/ZIP (full mailing address), PREMISE_ADDR_HOUSENO/STREET/STREET_TYPE/CITY/ZIP (situs address components), LAND_ASSMT, IMPROV_ASSMT, LEGAL_DESC, TRANSFER_DATE, SALES_PRICE, YEAR_BUILT, LANDUSE_CODE. The county uses Maryland SDAT (State Department of Assessments and Taxation) as the authoritative property record; mcmaps.org mirrors a subset of that data. Note: property points are centroid-located, not parcel polygons. For polygon geometry, Maryland's statewide parcel boundary layer is at geodata.md.gov/imap/rest/services/PlanningCadastre/MD_ParcelBoundaries/MapServer but does not expose owner data directly.

    Using this endpoint

    What Montgomery County publishes

    Montgomery County's Property Points layer exposes owner names (Owner Name, Owner Name 2, Owner Mailing Address, Owner Mailing City) and address fields (Site House Number, Site Street Name, Site City). Use it for owner-name lookups and address-based parcel searches. All 8 listed fields accept queries. Served as an ArcGIS FeatureServer layer, so edits and applyEdits operations are technically exposed (read access only is published here); last verified 2026-06-05.

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

    mcmaps.org serves Montgomery County, Maryland 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 Montgomery County endpoint still current?

    We last verified Montgomery County's FeatureServer layer on 2026-06-05. 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 Montgomery County parcel queries?

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