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.

Countywide parcel layer covering all of Wayne County, not Detroit alone: 768,119 parcels across 125 distinct propcity values including Livonia, Dearborn, Canton, Westland, Taylor, Redford and the Grosse Pointes. Owner names are populated on 744,052 rows (96.9 percent) and are real individuals, verified outside Detroit. Six usable columns: packedParc, ownername1, propstreet, propcity, propstate, propzip. There is no mailing-address column. Caveat for anyone filtering on it: propcity is dirty, carrying misspellings such as DETRIOT and GARDEN CTIY and a handful of rows where an owner name leaked into the city column. Spatial lookup is unaffected.

Wayne County's Wayne County Parcel Shape File layer exposes a parcel identifier (Parcel ID), owner names (Owner Name), and address fields (Site Address, Site City, Site ZIP). 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 2026-08-25.
/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.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 Wayne County actually publishes, not what you might expect from a national standard (there isn't one).

services1.arcgis.com serves Wayne County, Michigan 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.
We last verified Wayne County's FeatureServer layer on 2026-08-25. 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.
Wayne 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.
