Ohio parcel data is governed by county Auditor offices, not Assessors as in most US states. Each of Ohio's 88 county auditors maintains CAMA and GIS systems independently. The atlas currently covers five counties: Montgomery (Dayton), Stark (Canton), Franklin (Columbus), Cuyahoga (Cleveland), and Hamilton (Cincinnati). These five span three of Ohio's four major metros and reflect the full range of Ohio's publishing patterns: ArcGIS Online FeatureServer (Montgomery), self-hosted MapServer (Stark, Franklin, Cuyahoga, Hamilton), and widely varying field schemas despite the shared Auditor-as-data-owner model.
Ohio has no mandatory statewide parcel clearinghouse. The Ohio Geographic Information Council (OGIC) coordinates standards and promotes open data, but county participation is voluntary. Each county auditor publishes — or does not publish — parcel data on its own timeline. The Ohio Geographically Referenced Information Program (OGRIP) hosts some statewide layers but the parcel data is not aggregated at the state level. In practice, the five atlas counties all publish via ArcGIS REST and expose owner names publicly, but the field names, parcel ID formats, and update cadences differ materially between them. Hamilton County's CAGIS (Cincinnati Area Geographic Information System) is a city-county joint GIS operation that covers parcels for the Cincinnati metro across multiple jurisdictions within one service.
In most US states, the county Assessor or Property Appraiser holds parcel and valuation records. Ohio assigns that function to the county Auditor, which is an elected office with broader fiscal responsibilities. This affects both institutional ownership and REST service attribution. The endpoint contact for Stark County is 'Stark County IT / GIS' but the service is named Auditor/StarkCountyParcels. For Hamilton County (Cincinnati), the CAGIS cadastral layer is formally the Hamilton County Auditor's record. When searching for Ohio parcel services, look for Auditor open data portals, not Assessor portals.
Each Ohio county labels its primary parcel identifier differently. Montgomery County uses PRINT_KEY. Stark County uses PIN. Franklin County uses PARCELID (formatted as 'XXX-XXXXXX'). Cuyahoga uses parcelpin (lowercase) and parcel_id as separate fields. Hamilton County uses PARCELID (12-digit) alongside AUDPCLID (auditor's separate account key). Ohio does not maintain a statewide parcel serial number, so cross-county queries must substitute field names. Franklin County's 115-field schema (Local Government Information Model) is the most attribute-complete of the five.
Cuyahoga County's MyPLACE parcel service renamed the sale-date field from saledate to transfer_date in early 2026. Queries or integrations written before the rename that filter on saledate will return zero results without raising an error. The renamed field carries the same semantics: the date the deed transferred on record. Cuyahoga also exposes both parcel_owner (assessment record owner) and deeded_owner (the name from the deed instrument), which can differ for recently sold parcels where the deed has recorded but the assessment roll has not yet updated.
Contains Columbus (state capital, pop. 900,000+). Franklin County's MapServer exposes 115 fields using the Local Government Information Model schema, including residential characteristics (RESFLRAREA, RESYRBLT, ROOMS, BATHS, BEDRMS, AIRCOND) and sale history (SALEDATE, SALEPRICE). The most attribute-complete public parcel layer in the atlas.
Contains Cleveland (pop. 1.2 million county). Layer exposes 80+ fields including both parcel_owner (assessment roll) and deeded_owner (deed record), plus transfer_date and sales_amount. The MyPLACE service (WGS84) is the public-facing layer; Layer 2 is the polygon parcel, not Layer 0 or 1.
Contains Cincinnati (pop. 830,000 county). This is Ohio's Hamilton County (FIPS 39061), distinct from Indiana's Hamilton County (FIPS 18057) and Tennessee's Hamilton County (FIPS 47065). The CAGIS cadastral layer holds 99 fields, including previous owners (PREVOWN1/PREVOWN2) and deed book/page references.
Contains Dayton. Published via ArcGIS Online FeatureServer (services6.arcgis.com). Key owner fields are OWNER1, OWNER2, and OWNER (combined). Open Data Hub at opendata-mcgov-gis.hub.arcgis.com.
Contains Canton. SITE_ADDRESS includes city, state, and ZIP as a single concatenated string. MAILING_NAME is a separate field from OWNER; both are searchable. Self-hosted at scgisa.starkcountyohio.gov under the Auditor service folder.
Franklin County owner query: ?where=UPPER(OWNERNME1)+LIKE+UPPER('%25SMITH%25')&outFields=PARCELID,OWNERNME1,SITEADDRESS,SALEDATE,SALEPRICE&f=json. Cuyahoga owner query (note lowercase field names): ?where=UPPER(parcel_owner)+LIKE+UPPER('%25SMITH%25')&outFields=parcelpin,parcel_owner,deeded_owner,par_addr_all,transfer_date&f=json. Hamilton County (Cincinnati): ?where=UPPER(OWNNM1)+LIKE+UPPER('%25SMITH%25')&outFields=PARCELID,OWNNM1,OWNAD1,AUDPCLID&f=json. All queries: append returnGeometry=false&resultRecordCount=10.

7 Ohio counties are indexed in the UrbanKit atlas with verified public REST endpoints: Montgomery, Stark, Franklin, Cuyahoga, Hamilton, Summit, and Lucas. Each exposes an owner-name field you can search directly on the public layer.
Montgomery, Stark, Franklin, Cuyahoga, Hamilton, Summit, and Lucas expose an owner-name field on the public REST layer. Montgomery, for example, uses the OWNER1 field — a case-insensitive search is ?where=UPPER(OWNER1)%20LIKE%20UPPER('%25SMITH%25')&outFields=*&f=json. Open a county's page here for its full field list and a ready-to-run sample query.
Montgomery publishes parcels at https://services6.arcgis.com/EbVsqZ18sv1kVJ3k/ArcGIS/rest/services/Montgomery_County_Parcels/FeatureServer/0 — a FeatureServer (layer 0). It indexes by Parcel Print Key, Owner Name (Primary), Owner Name 2, and Owner (combined). Owner-name search: UPPER(OWNER1) LIKE UPPER('%25SMITH%25').
Both. Ohio uses a mix: Montgomery and Lucas publish ArcGIS FeatureServer layers, while Stark, Franklin, Cuyahoga, Hamilton, and Summit use MapServer. Both support /query, so the same owner, parcel-ID, and address lookups work against either.
