    What these endpoints answer

    Field by field, whether any endpoint we index for Vance 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

    Vance County, North Carolina (FIPS 37181). Served by NC OneMap's statewide parcel layer (NC1Map_Parcels MapServer layer 1, "Parcels (polys)", on services.nconemap.gov), which the NC Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NC CGIA) compiles through the NC Integrated Cadastral Data Exchange by transforming each county's assessor data; credit the Vance County tax assessor's office and NC OneMap (NC CGIA). The layer carries all 100 counties (5,938,900 rows), so every attribute search here is scoped with cntyname = 'Vance' (26,547 rows read 2026-10-17; cntyfips = '181' selects the same rows). Informational only and not a legal record: verify with the Vance County tax office, whose roll is the authoritative source. The layer pages with resultOffset and resultRecordCount and returns up to 5,000 rows per request; the county-scoped parcel-number lookups we ran on 2026-10-17 answered in 2.0 to 2.8 s. Share of the county's rows filled, read 2026-10-17: parno 99.7%, ownname 98.8%, siteadd 98.8%, parval above zero 98.8%, gisacres above zero 90.4%, parusedesc 98.8%; not listed because under 50%: scity 0.0%, szip 0.0%. ownname is blank (an empty or all-space string) on 1.2% of rows (321), so those parcels cannot be found by owner name. Mailing columns not mapped; the owner mailing address capability record says why. No field in the layer dates the county's roll; the state transformed this county's data in May 2026 (transfdate), so lastVerified is our probe date, not a data date. CORS: the server echoes the request Origin, so browser tools call it directly. License: NC OneMap's terms (https://www.nconemap.gov/pages/terms) state a free and unrestricted use policy, need no written release and carry no warranty; cite NC OneMap and NC CGIA.

    Using this endpoint

    What Vance County publishes

    Vance County's Parcels (polys) 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 7 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 2026-10-17.

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

    services.nconemap.gov serves Vance 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.

    Is the Vance County endpoint still current?

    We last verified Vance County's MapServer 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.

    Is there a rate limit on Vance County parcel queries?

    Vance County's layer is hosted by the county on services.nconemap.gov. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but services.nconemap.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.
