Charleston County (pop. 430,000; includes Charleston, North Charleston, Mount Pleasant) Parcel_Search MapServer layer 4. This layer is a spatial join of parcel geometry (FEATURES.SDE.P_POLY_PARCEL) with CAMA assessor data (FEATURES.SDE.CAMA), so field names are fully qualified with schema prefix. 20 fields confirmed: PID, GPIN, ACRES_CAL, OWNER1/2, TAX_DISTRICT, CLASS_CODE, MAIL_ST_NO/ST_NAME/ST_TYPE, MAIL_2ND_ADDR/ADDT, MAIL_CITY/STATE/ZIP/COUNTRY, LEGAL_DESCR, SUBDIVISION. IMPORTANT: field names in WHERE clause must be double-quoted due to dot notation (e.g., UPPER("FEATURES.SDE.CAMA.OWNER1") LIKE ...). Verified 2026-05-15: SMITH returns Edisto Island and Spring City area addresses. MIGRATED 2026-06-06: GIS_VIEWER/Parcel_Search/MapServer/4 was retired (ArcGIS 404) -- parcels now at GIS_VIEWER/New_Parcel_Search/MapServer/61 (197,306 parcels; OWNER1 search re-verified live). Field names are unqualified on the new layer (PID, OWNER1, ...); the FEATURES.SDE.* prefixes no longer apply and GPIN is not in the new schema.

Charleston County's Parcels layer exposes a parcel identifier (Parcel ID) and owner names (Owner Name 1). Use it for owner-name lookups and PIN-keyed record pulls. 2 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 2026-06-06.

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 Charleston County actually publishes, not what you might expect from a national standard (there isn't one).

gisccapps.charlestoncounty.org serves Charleston County, South Carolina 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 Charleston County's MapServer layer on 2026-06-06. 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.
Charleston County's layer is hosted by the county on gisccapps.charlestoncounty.org. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but gisccapps.charlestoncounty.org 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.
