    What these endpoints answer

    Field by field, whether any endpoint we index for St. Louis city 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

    City of St. Louis, Missouri (FIPS 29510) is an independent city that belongs to no county, and it is NOT St. Louis County (29189, a separate record in this file on a different server). The Assessor's public parcels layer is ASSESSOR/Assessor_Public_Parcels/MapServer layer 11 (Parcels) on ArcGIS Server 11.2, listed on the city's data page. SERVER-SIDE ONLY: the server sends Access-Control-Allow-Origin only to its own origin (www.stlouis-mo.gov); for any other Origin a GET and its preflight return only Vary: Origin and Access-Control-Allow-Private-Network: true, so a browser on another site cannot read it and corsEnabled is false. Query it from a server, the metered API or the MCP, not from page script. The owner is OwnerName (max 40 characters, so long names are truncated at the source) with OwnerName2; the mailing address is OwnerAddr plus OwnerCity (max 13 characters, can read ST LOUIS MO) with OwnerState, OwnerZIP and OwnerCountry; the parcel id is ParcelId (11 digits, LowerParcelId also exists). SITEADDR carries runs of internal spaces (2233 PARK AV) and trailing padding, so a LIKE on a full street string misses; search on the house number plus a street word, or collapse whitespace on the client. Search with UPPER(OwnerName) LIKE 'SMITH%'; broad searches return exceededTransferLimit true at the 2000-row page. The layer has 194 fields and this record lists a subset. Layer 11 includes condominium master parcels, and the sub-accounts are layer 10 (not examined). No license or terms text is published on the data page. Verified live 2026-10-03: owner SMITH returned rows (first SMITH, DAVID E & SANDRA L TRS, parcel 22669130000, 2233 PARK AVE).

    Using this endpoint

    What St. Louis city publishes

    St. Louis city's Parcels layer exposes a parcel identifier (Parcel ID), owner names (Owner Name, Owner Mailing Address), and address fields (Site Address). Use it for owner-name lookups and address-based parcel searches. 4 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 2026-10-03.

    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 St. Louis city 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 St. Louis city's parcel layer from my own web app?

    maps8.stlouis-mo.gov serves St. Louis city, Missouri 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 St. Louis city endpoint still current?

    We last verified St. Louis city's MapServer layer on 2026-10-03. 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 St. Louis city parcel queries?

    St. Louis city's layer is hosted by the county on maps8.stlouis-mo.gov. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but maps8.stlouis-mo.gov 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.
