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.

Swain County, North Carolina (FIPS 37173; county seat Bryson City). Served by the county GIS office's ArcGIS Online feature service (services3.arcgis.com, item owner swaincountygis): Swain_County_Parcels FeatureServer layer 0, "Parcel_Polygons_Public", 13,554 rows, last edited 2026-09-29. The NC OneMap statewide layer the other 83 NC counties use has no parcel numbers for Swain, so this record points at the county's layer. Informational only and not a legal record: the county item says parcel boundaries are approximate and are not survey-grade. Verified 2026-10-17: the layer extent is 83.97 to 83.14 W and 35.27 to 35.70 N, and a point at Bryson City intersects one parcel. Share of rows filled, read 2026-10-17: PARCEL_ID 99.7%, Name__1 99.5%, Name__2 42.9%, ParcelPropertyAddress 97.9%, Address_Line_1 97.6% (99.2% of those start with a house number or a PO Box), Address_Line_2 2.5%, City 98.2%, State 98.2%, Zip_Code 98.2%, Acreage above zero 99.0%, Land_Value_Parcel above zero 99.3%, Building_Value_Parcel above zero 55.6%, Total_Assessed_Value above zero 99.3%, Deed_Date 90.9%. The layer documents no field meanings. Name__1 (alias "Name #1") is read as the owner name and Name__2 as a second owner name; the layer has no site-city or site-ZIP column, and City, State and Zip_Code are the owner's mailing city, state and ZIP (State holds NC on 8,488 rows, FL on 2,384 and GA on 748). 46 rows have no PARCEL_ID and 69 have no Name__1. 599 parcel numbers appear on more than one row (798 extra rows, at most 45 rows under one number), so a parcel-number lookup can return several rows. Deed_Date is text of the form "m/d/yyyy 12:00:00 AM". The layer pages and declares maxRecordCount 2000; the parcel-number sample answered in 0.1 s. CORS: the server answers with Access-Control-Allow-Origin *. License: unknown. The county item's license text is a disclaimer only: "The data is provided by Swain County for informational and general mapping purposes. While efforts are made to maintain accurate and current information, Swain County makes no warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of the data for any particular purpose." It places no limit on use. The county's Mapping page (the licenseUrl) lists fees for printed maps made on request (a parcel map with ownership information attached is $100) and states no terms for the online layer.

Swain County's Parcel_Polygons_Public layer exposes a parcel identifier (Parcel Number), owner names (Owner Name), and address fields (Site Address). Use it for owner-name lookups and address-based parcel searches. 3 of 14 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 2026-10-17.
/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.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 Swain County actually publishes, not what you might expect from a national standard (there isn't one).

services3.arcgis.com serves Swain County, North Carolina 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.
We last verified Swain County's FeatureServer layer on 2026-10-17. 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.
Swain 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.
