No public REST endpoint we can serve

Columbia County shows owner and address only in its own web map, and the service behind it needs a token; its public parcel layer has parcel numbers only. Use the county's parcel viewer, or request it and we'll tell you if that changes.

How to find an ArcGIS parcel layer URL

Notes

Columbia County, Pennsylvania (county seat Bloomsburg; FIPS 42037). The county's parcel layer on PASDA, Columbia County Tax Parcels 202402 (34,249 parcels, last edited 2024-02-14), carries a parcel number (PIN) and geometry only, with no owner name, site address, mailing address, land use or value. The same query against Bradford County's PASDA layer returns owner names, so the gap lies in Columbia's data. The county's own parcel viewer, a Web AppBuilder app at https://gismaps.columbiapa.org/webapps/parcel, shows owner and address, but the service behind it (Overlays/ColumbiaParcelsOverlay/MapServer on the county's ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3) answers every direct request with 499 Token Required and is reached only through the viewer's proxy; the portal's copy returns 403. The county GIS Director confirmed on 2026-10-26 that the county makes a public web map available, but not a feature service. The viewer's disclaimer is warranty-only. gis.columbiapa.org still serves a certificate for another host name; gismaps.columbiapa.org is the working host.

Using this endpoint

What Columbia County publishes

Columbia County does not yet have a verified public REST endpoint in our atlas. The sections below cover patterns common to most county parcel APIs.

Two paths from URL to result

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.
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 Columbia 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.
