Public ArcGIS MapServer endpoint for Bedford County parcel data. URL, supported fields, and a working sample query, copy it, or open it directly in the UrbanKit parcel lookup tool.
This page is the endpoint reference. If you came here to find a specific property, the Bedford County parcel search runs this same layer in your browser, no account and no API key.

https://mapservices.pasda.psu.edu/server/rest/services/pasda/BedfordCounty/MapServer/0Field by field, whether any endpoint we index for Bedford 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.

Bedford County, Pennsylvania (Bedford; FIPS 42009). The county's parcels are published through PASDA (Pennsylvania Spatial Data Access, the state clearinghouse run by Penn State) as BedfordCounty MapServer layer 0, 'BedfordCountyParcels202307': 34,225 parcels on 2026-10-14, 34,104 of them with an owner (OWNER_NAME). The host is PASDA, not the county. THE VINTAGE IS OLD: the layer name carries 202307 (July 2023), more than three years before verification, and the layer has no edit-date or usable sale-date field (SALE_YEAR is a two-digit number), so owners can lag the assessment office by years. PASDA republishes under a new name, so the layer name or index may change: list the service's layers and pick the one whose name starts 'BedfordCountyParcels'. The parcel id is Name, the tax map number in the form E.09-D.04-111 (CONTROL_NO is a separate numeric control number). The owner is OWNER_NAME with OWNER_NA_1; the owner mailing address is OWNER_ADDR (with OWNER_AD_1, OWNER_AD_2, OWNER_CITY, OWNER_STAT and OWNER_ZIP, a number, so leading zeros are lost). SITUS IS SPARSE: SITUS_DESC holds a street address on only 8,885 of 34,225 rows (about 26 percent; some rows carry a road-name description such as 'OFF OF <road>' instead) and SITUS_DE_1 a free-text qualifier on 4,057, so an address search will miss most parcels; owner, parcel id and a point lookup are the dependable paths. municipali is the municipality name (blank on 1,202 rows). CORS: the server echoes the request Origin in Access-Control-Allow-Origin. maxRecordCount is 1000 with pagination; the layer wkid is 4269 (NAD83), so a lon/lat point query takes inSR=4326. No license text is published on the service. A second public copy, 'Parcels - PA - Bedford County' on a GDIT ArcGIS Online service (33,828 rows, layer description 'May2018Parcels'), is older still and is not used. Verified 2026-10-14: owner LIKE %SMITH% returned 454 rows (10 with resultRecordCount=10), situs LIKE %MAIN% 122 rows, and a point query at -78.5039,40.0186 (Bedford) returned one parcel in BEDFORD BORO.

Bedford County's BedfordCountyParcels202307 layer exposes a parcel identifier (Parcel ID (tax map number)), owner names (Owner Name, Owner Mailing Address), and address fields (Situs Address). Use it for owner-name lookups and address-based parcel searches. 4 of 11 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 2026-10-14.
/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 Bedford County actually publishes, not what you might expect from a national standard (there isn't one).

mapservices.pasda.psu.edu serves Bedford County, Pennsylvania 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 Bedford County's MapServer layer on 2026-10-14. 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.
Bedford County's layer is hosted by the county on mapservices.pasda.psu.edu. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but mapservices.pasda.psu.edu 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.
