    What these endpoints answer

    Field by field, whether any endpoint we index for Cayuga 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.

    Notes

    Cayuga County, New York (county seat Auburn; FIPS 36011) is served by the NYS Tax Parcels Public statewide layer, filter with COUNTY_NAME='Cayuga'. It is the layer Onondaga and the other statewide-served counties use: the first endpoint is the official NYSGIS mirror on ArcGIS Online (services6.arcgis.com, FeatureServer/1), the second the state server (gisservices.its.ny.gov, MapServer/1). The layer description names Cayuga among the counties that 'specifically authorized Geospatial Services to share their GIS tax parcel data with the public'; 2025 roll, published May 2026, dataLastEditDate 2026-10-19 on the mirror. Verified 2026-11-02 by metadata and returnCountOnly only: COUNTY_NAME='Cayuga' counts 39,127 rows on both endpoints, PRIMARY_OWNER and PARCEL_ADDR are populated on all 39,127 and MAIL_ADDR on 36,936 (the control, COUNTY_NAME='Onondaga', counts 181,909, the figure in the Onondaga record). A scoped owner search for SMITH counts 341 rows on both endpoints, which is the sample query. maxRecordCount is 1,000 on the mirror and 50,000 on the state server, CORS is open on the mirror, and the state server's count query took 5.8 s, so keep every query scoped by COUNTY_NAME or spatial. Owner reads 'Unknown' on 1 row, a placeholder rather than a name. The county's own service (ccgis.cayugacounty.us TaxMapOnline/PARCEL) answers 'Token Required', so it is not used. The statewide layer carries 75 fields on the state server and 74 on the mirror, none of them an exemption column. The county's own GIS page (cayugacounty.gov) answered HTTP 403, so its terms were not read.

    Using this endpoint

    What Cayuga County publishes

    Cayuga County's NYS_Tax_Parcels_Public layer exposes a parcel identifier (SWIS-SBL Parcel Identifier), owner names (Primary Owner Name), and address fields (Parcel Address, Mailing Address). Use it for owner-name lookups and address-based parcel searches. 6 of 10 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 2026-11-02.

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

    services6.arcgis.com serves Cayuga County, New York 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 Cayuga County endpoint still current?

    We last verified Cayuga County's FeatureServer layer on 2026-11-02. 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 Cayuga County parcel queries?

    Cayuga County's layer is hosted on Esri ArcGIS Online. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but services6.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.
