    What these endpoints answer

    Notes

    Schenectady County NY (Capital Region: the city of Schenectady, Niskayuna, Rotterdam, Glenville, Scotia; FIPS 36093) is not in the NYS Tax Parcels Public statewide layer (COUNTY_NAME='Schenectady' counts 0 on 2026-10-05 while the Albany control counts 112,804), so this record uses the public hosted layer published by Spatial Data Logic, the vendor behind the county's SIMS/ImageMate property system; the county's own simsgis.org service sits behind a login. Single-county layer, 59,235 parcels, no scopeWhere needed. Owner names are published in OWNER as 'LAST, FIRST' for individuals (e.g. 'SMITH, ARNOLD L.') and with a trailing comma for entities (e.g. 'CITY OF SCHENECTADY,', about 6,800 of the 59,235 rows); the owner mailing address is STREET plus CITY_STATE; the situs is PROP_ADDR; the parcel id is the tax-map print key (PRINT_KEY, e.g. 39.72-4-1). An exact point intersect can fall in the right-of-way, so point lookups use a small distance buffer. Verified 2026-10-05 by a row query, an owner sample query and a point query at 105 Jay St (City of Schenectady).

    Using this endpoint

    What Schenectady County publishes

    Schenectady County's Final21 layer exposes a parcel identifier (Tax Map Parcel ID (Print Key)), owner names (Owner Name), and address fields (Property Address). Use it for owner-name lookups and address-based parcel searches. 3 of 9 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 2026-10-05.

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

    services3.arcgis.com serves Schenectady 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 Schenectady County endpoint still current?

    We last verified Schenectady County's FeatureServer layer on 2026-10-05. 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 Schenectady County parcel queries?

    Schenectady County's layer is hosted on Esri ArcGIS Online. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but services3.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.
