Nebraska has 93 counties, each with an elected County Assessor. The Nebraska Tax Equalization and Review Commission (TERC) oversees assessment standards and hears valuation appeals. There is no statewide parcel REST layer in Nebraska; NebraskaMAP (nebraskamap.ne.gov) is the state GIS clearinghouse but does not serve a live parcel FeatureServer. County assessors publish independently. The atlas covers three Omaha-area counties — Douglas, Lancaster, and Sarpy — which together account for roughly 60% of Nebraska's population. Douglas and Sarpy counties share DOGIS (Douglas-Omaha Geographic Information System), a joint city-county GIS agency; Lancaster County runs a separate joint City of Lincoln / County GIS operation at gis.lincoln.ne.gov. All three expose owner names on their public endpoints. Both Sarpy and Lancaster use the Esri Local Government Information Model (LGIM) schema, which provides a consistent field set.
Nebraska has no statewide cadastral aggregation program. NebraskaMAP (nebraskamap.ne.gov) catalogs state GIS data and links to county resources but does not host a live parcel REST endpoint. Douglas County and the City of Omaha operate DOGIS (dogis.org) jointly — a shared GIS agency that publishes both city and county data through a single server at dcgis.org. Sarpy County runs its own GIS at geodata.sarpy.gov. Lancaster County and the City of Lincoln share gis.lincoln.ne.gov, which hosts multiple parcel-adjacent services (Assessor/TaxParcels, Assessor/Pub_Parcels, Assessor/Asr_Landbase). Rural Nebraska counties outside the Omaha-Lincoln corridor typically have minimal or no public REST exposure; the county assessor website may offer a browser-based property search, but no REST API.
Sarpy County and Lancaster County both use the Esri Local Government Information Model (LGIM) schema for their parcel layers. This means both counties share field names: PARCELID, OWNERNME1, OWNERNME2, CNVYNAME, SITEADDRESS, CVTTXCD, CVTTXDSCRP, SCHLTXCD, SCHLDSCRP, CLASSCD, CLASSDSCRP, LNDVALUE, RESFLRAREA, RESYRBLT. CNVYNAME is the conveyance name — the name on the deed instrument, which may differ from the current owner if a deed correction has not yet been processed. When LGIM counties match Douglas (which uses a different, more verbose schema), you need to remap field names. The LGIM consistency between Sarpy and Lancaster is a genuine scripting convenience for Omaha-south and Lincoln area work.
Douglas County's Parcels_public layer at dcgis.org/server/rest/services/vector/ is maintained by DOGIS (Douglas-Omaha GIS), a joint city-county agency. The field schema does not follow LGIM: owner fields are OWNER_NAME, ADDRESS1, ADDRESS2, OWNER_CITY, OWNER_STAT, OWNER_ZIP. Property address fields are PROPERTY_A, HOUSE, STREET_DIR, STREET_NAM, STREET_TYP, PROP_CITY. A known quirk: PROPERTY_A and PROP_CITY may be empty for some parcels where the address join is incomplete — fall back to HOUSE + STREET_NAM for address-based searches when PROPERTY_A returns null. The dcgis.org server also hosts engineering and imagery services; the vector/ subfolder is the correct path for parcel data.
Lancaster County GIS at gis.lincoln.ne.gov provides three different access paths for parcel data: Assessor/TaxParcels/MapServer/0 (integration subfolder — richest attributes, live ownership), Assessor/Pub_Parcels at gisext.lincoln.ne.gov (a second server with a lighter field set), and Assessor/ParcelLinesAerial at gis.lincoln.ne.gov/public (aerial-synchronized boundaries). TaxParcels is the recommended endpoint for ownership queries. For large batch pulls or historical comparisons, the gisext server may be faster. All three use PARCELID as the parcel identifier and OWNERNME1 for the primary owner field.
Omaha metro (county seat Omaha). Parcels_public FeatureServer/0 at dcgis.org via DOGIS. OWNER_NAME, ADDRESS1/2, OWNER_CITY/STAT/ZIP, PROPERTY_A, PROP_CITY, PIN, SEC_TWN_RN, ADDITION_N, and LEGAL1-4 all present. 25 fields. Owner queries confirmed live. PROPERTY_A may be null for some parcels; use HOUSE+STREET_NAM as fallback.
Lincoln metro (state capital, county seat Lincoln). Assessor/TaxParcels/MapServer/0 at gis.lincoln.ne.gov. LGIM schema: PARCELID, OWNERNME1/2, CNVYNAME, SITEADDRESS, CVTTXCD, SCHLTXCD, TAXABLEVALU, TOTVALUEBASE, RESYRBLT, RESFLRAREA. Owner queries confirmed live.
Omaha south/west suburbs (Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista, Gretna) — Nebraska's fastest-growing county. LandRecordsSearch/FeatureServer/5 at geodata.sarpy.gov. LGIM schema: PARCELID, OWNERNME1/2, CNVYNAME, SITEADDRESS, CVTTXDSCRP, SCHLDSCRP. Owner queries confirmed live.
Douglas County owner search: ?where=UPPER(OWNER_NAME)+LIKE+UPPER('%25SMITH%25')&outFields=PIN,OWNER_NAME,PROPERTY_A,PROP_CITY,OWNER_CITY,OWNER_ZIP&returnGeometry=false&f=json&resultRecordCount=10 (base: dcgis.org/server/rest/services/vector/Parcels_public/FeatureServer/0). Lancaster owner search: ?where=UPPER(OWNERNME1)+LIKE+UPPER('%25SMITH%25')&outFields=PARCELID,OWNERNME1,OWNERNME2,SITEADDRESS,TAXABLEVALU&returnGeometry=false&f=json&resultRecordCount=10 (base: gis.lincoln.ne.gov/integration/rest/services/Assessor/TaxParcels/MapServer/0). Sarpy owner search: ?where=UPPER(OWNERNME1)+LIKE+UPPER('%25SMITH%25')&outFields=PARCELID,OWNERNME1,SITEADDRESS,CVTTXDSCRP&returnGeometry=false&f=json&resultRecordCount=10 (base: geodata.sarpy.gov/arcgis/rest/services/Cadastral/LandRecordsSearch/FeatureServer/5).

3 Nebraska counties are indexed in the UrbanKit atlas with verified public REST endpoints: Douglas, Lancaster, and Sarpy. Each exposes an owner-name field you can search directly on the public layer.
Douglas, Lancaster, and Sarpy expose an owner-name field on the public REST layer. Douglas, for example, uses the OWNER_NAME field — a case-insensitive search is ?where=UPPER(OWNER_NAME)%20LIKE%20UPPER('%25SMITH%25')&outFields=*&f=json. Open a county's page here for its full field list and a ready-to-run sample query.
Douglas publishes parcels at https://dcgis.org/server/rest/services/vector/Parcels_public/FeatureServer/0 — a FeatureServer (layer 0). It indexes by Parcel Identification Number, Owner Name, Owner Address 1, and Owner Address 2. Owner-name search: UPPER(OWNER_NAME) LIKE UPPER('%25SMITH%25').
Both. Nebraska uses a mix: Douglas and Sarpy publish ArcGIS FeatureServer layers, while Lancaster use MapServer. Both support /query, so the same owner, parcel-ID, and address lookups work against either.
