    What these endpoints answer

    Field by field, whether any endpoint we index for Malheur 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

    Malheur County, Oregon (county seat Vale) publishes its tax lots as a layer of the County_GIS_Portal_WFL1 FeatureServer, the data source of the county's public Malheur County Tax Lot Map experience (linked from malheurco.org/gis). 20,570 features as of 2026-10-03. The owner is OWNERSNAME, the parcel id MapTaxlot (for example 15S47E28B04702), the site address SITUSADD with CITY, and the owner mailing address ADD1/ADD2/CITYSTATE/ZIP. SITUSADD is sometimes a bare zero and ADD1 is often null. MAINTENANCE QUIRK: the layer name and index are month-stamped (currently layer 16, 'TL Jun2026'; the siblings are 'NonTL Jun2026' at 17 and Zoning_2026 at 25) and the county republishes monthly, so the name or index can change. When the liveness probe flags this record, re-resolve it: list the FeatureServer's layers, pick the one whose name starts with 'TL ' and which carries an OWNERSNAME field, then update layerIndex, layerName and the url. Do not hard-code 16 forever. Named outFields are accepted. CORS answers Access-Control-Allow-Origin *. The layer states no license; the county GIS page links a Data Licensing Agreement for bulk data. The statewide ODF layer for Malheur has an owner line but query disabled, and Malheur is not in the OWRD layer, so there is no usable fallback. Verified live 2026-10-03: owner SMITH returned rows (first owner SMITH, JAMIE LEE, 15S47E28B04702, Ontario).

    Using this endpoint

    What Malheur County publishes

    Malheur County's TL Jun2026 layer exposes owner names (Owner Name, Owner Mailing Address Line 1, Owner Mailing City and State) and address fields (Site Address, Site City). Use it for owner-name lookups and address-based parcel searches. 6 of 11 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 2026-10-03.

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

    services5.arcgis.com serves Malheur County, Oregon 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 Malheur County endpoint still current?

    We last verified Malheur County's FeatureServer layer on 2026-10-03. 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 Malheur County parcel queries?

    Malheur County's layer is hosted on Esri ArcGIS Online. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but services5.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.
