https://gis.johnsoncitytn.org/arcgis/rest/services/ParcelPublishing/TaxParcels/MapServer/0Field by field, whether any endpoint we index for Sullivan 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.

Sullivan County, Tennessee (county seat Blountville; Kingsport and Bristol) has no county-run public REST parcel layer with owner names. Its parcels are carried on the City of Johnson City's regional ParcelPublishing/TaxParcels MapServer layer 0 (Tax Parcels), which also holds Washington, Carter, Unicoi and neighbouring counties. Filter with COUNTYNAME='Sullivan County' (78,958 of the layer's 183,538 rows on 2026-10-03); the plain value 'Sullivan' matches nothing. About 313 Sullivan parcels (GISLINK starting 082) carry a NULL or different COUNTYNAME and fall outside this scope, roughly 0.4 percent; COUNTY_ID=82 catches them but admits 314 rows from outside the county, so the name scope stays. The owner is OWNER (with OWNER2); the parcel ID is GISLINK (e.g. 082029B A 01600) with ID as the display form (029B A 016.00), and PARID is NULL for Sullivan rows. ADDRESS stores the street name first and the house number last (BRENTWOOD DR 377), so search on a street word: a number-first LIKE ('%377 BRENTWOOD DR%') returns nothing, and only 647 of 78,737 Sullivan addresses start with a digit, so the free tools' address auto-lookup will miss most Sullivan addresses until they retry number-last. The owner mailing address is MAILADDR with MAILCITY, STATE and ZIP. CARDURL links each parcel to the state's TPAD property card. CORS reflects the request Origin (Access-Control-Allow-Origin echoed back, credentials true); a request without an Origin gets no CORS header. maxRecordCount is 2000. LICENCE: RESTRICTED. The ArcGIS item's licence text reads: "Read access only for all city staff. Delivered products are not to be resold by the purchaser for any reason and may not be reproduced without the written permission of the staff of the Johnson City GIS Division." The item and the REST endpoint are public, but the terms restrict resale and reproduction, so the atlas records only the query URL, stores no copy of the layer beyond the short-lived server cache every live query passes through, and serves this county by live query only; Leo reviewed and accepted that exposure on 2026-10-03. The data was last refreshed in October 2025. Sullivan County's own SULLIVAN service on ArcGIS Online has no owner field. The Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury does publish a statewide property boundaries service (Tennessee_Property_Boundaries_Public_Use, 86 counties), but its description says it is not intended for commercial use, so it is not registered here; we asked the Comptroller for permission on 2026-11-01. Verified live 2026-10-03: owner SMITH returned rows (first SMITH BETTY TRUSTEE, GISLINK 082029B A 01600, BRENTWOOD DR 377, mailing 377 BRENTWOOD DRIVE KINGSPORT).

Sullivan County's Tax Parcels layer exposes a parcel identifier (Parcel ID (GIS link, e.g. 082029B A 01600)), owner names (Owner Name, Owner Mailing Address), and address fields (Property Address (street name first, house number last)). Use it for owner-name lookups and address-based parcel searches. 5 of 10 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 2026-10-03.

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

gis.johnsoncitytn.org serves Sullivan County, Tennessee 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 Sullivan County's MapServer 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.
Sullivan County's layer is hosted by the county on gis.johnsoncitytn.org. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but gis.johnsoncitytn.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.
