    Notes

    75+ fields confirmed. This is the same NYS Tax Parcels Public statewide endpoint used for New York County (Manhattan), filter by COUNTY_NAME='Suffolk' for Suffolk County. Suffolk is the most populous county on Long Island (~1.5M residents). SWIS_SBL_ID is the canonical parcel identifier (26-character SWIS + SBL concatenation); PRINT_KEY is the human-readable tax map reference (e.g. '1.-1-1'). PRIMARY_OWNER is the assessed owner. Note the NYC-area MAPPLUTO endpoint does NOT cover Suffolk. That endpoint is for the five NYC boroughs only. This statewide layer has 75+ attributes including assessed values, market values, year built, building style, heat/fuel type, bedrooms, school district, sewer/water type. Data is the annual NYS Real Property System roll export updated each September/October. ROLL_YR=2025 confirmed in live query results. Municipalities within Suffolk include Babylon, Brookhaven, East Hampton, Huntington, Islip, Riverhead, Shelter Island, Smithtown, Southampton, Southold, all accessible via the same COUNTY_NAME='Suffolk' filter.

    Using this endpoint

    What Suffolk County publishes

    Suffolk County's NYS_Tax_Parcels_Public layer exposes a parcel identifier (SWIS-SBL Parcel Identifier), owner names (Primary Owner Name, Additional Owner Name), and address fields (Parcel Address, Mailing Address). Use it for owner-name lookups and address-based parcel searches. 7 of 16 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 2026-05-14.

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

    gisservices.its.ny.gov serves Suffolk 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 Suffolk County endpoint still current?

    We last verified Suffolk County's MapServer layer on 2026-05-14. 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 Suffolk County parcel queries?

    Suffolk County's layer is hosted by the county on gisservices.its.ny.gov. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but gisservices.its.ny.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.
