Public ArcGIS MapServer endpoint for Berks 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 Berks 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/BerksCounty/MapServer/6Field by field, whether any endpoint we index for Berks 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.

Berks County, Pennsylvania (Reading; FIPS 42011). The county's parcels are published through PASDA (Pennsylvania Spatial Data Access, the state clearinghouse run by Penn State) as BerksCounty MapServer layer 6, 'Berks County - Parcels 202601': 156,838 parcels on 2026-10-14, 156,146 of them with an owner (692 have a blank NAME1). The data is county-supplied (copyright 'County of Berks'); the host is PASDA, not the county. PASDA REPUBLISHES under a new vintage stamp: the layer name carries the month (202601) and the name, and possibly the index, rotates on each republish, as it does for Chester and Bradford in this file. If the liveness probe flags this record, list the service's layers and pick the one whose name starts 'Berks County - Parcels'. Currency: DATADATE is 2026-01-09 on the sampled rows (a January 2026 snapshot, about nine months behind at the time of verification), so owners can lag the assessment office. The owner is NAME1 (varchar 254, so no truncation of long LLC names); the situs is FULLSITEAD (one string, e.g. house number and street; populated on 156,145 rows); the owner mailing address is FULLMAILAD (one string, 156,146 rows); the parcel id is PROPID, a 14-digit string, with PIN as the map pin. MUNI is the municipality name. Do not read DEED_DATE as a currency signal: its maximum on the layer is a corrupt far-future date. The county's own ArcGIS Online item TaxParcelsNEBJCP (services3.arcgis.com/dGYe1jDYrTw1wwpc) covers only 5,830 parcels (a north-east subset) and is not used. CORS: the server echoes the request Origin in Access-Control-Allow-Origin. maxRecordCount is 2000 with pagination; the layer wkid is 4269 (NAD83), so a lon/lat point query takes inSR=4326. No license or terms text is published on the service. Verified 2026-10-14: owner LIKE %SMITH% returned 1,038 rows (10 with resultRecordCount=10), situs LIKE %MAIN ST% 2,614 rows, and a point query at -75.9269,40.3357 (Reading) returned one parcel in READING with a situs address.

Berks County's Berks County - Parcels 202601 layer exposes a parcel identifier (Parcel ID (PROPID, 14-digit)), 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 12 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 Berks County actually publishes, not what you might expect from a national standard (there isn't one).

mapservices.pasda.psu.edu serves Berks 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 Berks 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.
Berks 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.
