https://opcgis.deq.state.ms.us/opcgis/rest/services/Government/HINDS_PARCELS/MapServer/0Field by field, whether any endpoint we index for Hinds 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.
| Field | Status | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| APN | Answered | Documented in a field list on an endpoint we index. Not every row is populated. |
| Owner name | Answered | Documented in a field list on an endpoint we index. Not every row is populated. |
| Owner mailing address | Not published | Both of Hinds County's layers document MAILADD1, MCITY1, MSTATE1 and MZIP1, and both carry no value in any row: 0 of 114,814 rows on the OPCGIS HINDS_PARCELS layer (measured 2026-09-26 with returnCountOnly) and 0 of 114,935 on the MARIS/MDEQ 2024 statewide West layer (measured 2026-10-12), so no query here can return an owner mailing address. Owner names and site addresses are populated on both. Where to request it. |

| Geometry | Answered | Documented in a field list on an endpoint we index. Not every row is populated. |
| Land use | Not published | No endpoint we index for this county documents this field, so a query cannot ask for it. That is a fact about the services we index, not a legal restriction, and not a statement that the county holds no such record. Where to request it. |
| Zoning | Not published | No endpoint we index for this county documents this field, so a query cannot ask for it. That is a fact about the services we index, not a legal restriction, and not a statement that the county holds no such record. Where to request it. |

Hinds County (Jackson, pop. 231,000; state capital) parcel layer hosted on MDEQ OPCGIS server. Mississippi DEQ hosts parcel layers for many MS counties under the 'Government' folder on opcgis.deq.state.ms.us. The layer publishes 54 fields: OBJECTID, CAMA, PARNO, ALTPARNO, PPIN, OWNNAME, MAILADD1/2, MCITY1/2, MSTATE1/2, MZIP1/2, SITEADD, SCITY, SSTATE, SZIP, SUBNAME, deed and plat references, assessed values, acreage, ZONING, LEGLDESC and geometry measures. OWNNAME field returns owner name in mixed format. Verified 2026-05-15: SMITH returns Jackson MS site addresses. The same server also has DeSoto County parcels and other MS county datasets. 2026-09-26: the layer now refuses any query that names its outFields (HTTP 200 carrying error 400 "Failed to execute query.", measured twice each on the enrichment, radius and liveness query shapes) and answers outFields=* with 54 fields, so every UrbanKit query to this service sends outFields=* and the sample query above does the same. Measured the same day with returnCountOnly: MAILADD1, MAILADD2, MCITY1, MSTATE1 and MZIP1 are blank on every one of the layer's 114,814 parcels (0 rows each where the column IS NOT NULL AND <> '', against 114,547 for OWNNAME and 114,514 for SITEADD), so the record lists no mailing field and this county serves owner names and site addresses, not mailing addresses. On 2026-10-13 we added a second endpoint: the MARIS/MDEQ 2024 statewide West layer (MS_MDEQPARCELS_West_2024 MapServer layer 0 on gis.mississippi.edu, 878,999 parcels across 38 western counties) scoped with STCNTYFIPS = '28049', the 2024 roll with 114,935 parcels, 121 more than the primary's 114,814 and three years fresher than the primary's TAXYEAR 2021; the second endpoint is a fallback. OWNNAME and SITEADD are each filled on 99.9% of its rows. MAILADD1 is empty on every row there as well (0 of 114,935), so neither endpoint lists a mailing field. The primary stays first because it pages. The statewide layer refuses pagination (any resultRecordCount or resultOffset returns HTTP 200 with error 400 "Pagination is not supported.") and answers at most 2,000 rows per request. A FID equality or a read scoped by FIPS plus a FID range answers in 70 to 550 ms; a PARNO equality or any other non-FID predicate scans the whole layer and takes 1.3 s to more than 20 s, more on the first query after hours idle. The server rejects FID BETWEEN (HTTP 200 with error 400 "Failed to execute query."); write the range as FID >= a AND FID <= b. CORS measured 2026-10-13 with an Origin header: the OPCGIS primary answers Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://urbankitstudio.com, and the statewide layer echoes any Origin, so both are browser-callable.

Hinds County's HINDS_PARCELS layer exposes parcel identifiers (Parcel Number, Alternate Parcel Number, PPIN), owner names (Owner Name), and address fields (Site Address). Use it for owner-name lookups and address-based parcel searches. 5 of 9 listed fields accept queries; the rest are returned on read but not indexed for search. Served as an ArcGIS MapServer layer, which supports query operations but not write operations; last verified 2026-10-13.
/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 Hinds County actually publishes, not what you might expect from a national standard (there isn't one).

opcgis.deq.state.ms.us serves Hinds County, Mississippi 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 Hinds County's MapServer layer on 2026-10-13. 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.
Hinds County's layer is hosted by the county on opcgis.deq.state.ms.us. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but opcgis.deq.state.ms.us 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.
