    — 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.

    How to use this REST endpoint

    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 this 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

    This URL gives me a CORS error in my own app — what now?

    Many county servers allow public reads but block browser cross-origin requests. The UrbanKit parcel lookup tool fetches directly from your browser; if it works there, the layer is technically public. For your own integration, you may need a same-origin proxy or server-side fetch.

    The endpoint loaded last week and now returns 404. Did the URL change?

    Possibly — counties move services without warning. We re-verify entries weekly and flag stale ones. If you're seeing a fresh 404, please let us know and we'll update the listing.

    Are these endpoints free to query at scale?

    Most are. Public ArcGIS layers don't typically rate-limit individual reads, but heavy programmatic use can trigger throttling at the host level. Be respectful — query what you need.
