    What these endpoints answer

    Field by field, whether any endpoint we index for Hidalgo 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.

    Notes

    Hidalgo County, Texas (county seat Edinburg; FIPS 48215) was asked for through the free tools. The parcels are Hidalgo County Appraisal District data, published as layer 7 ('Hidalgo Parcels') of the RGV911_Web_Apps_MIL1 MapServer on the server of RGV911, the regional emergency-communications district, not by the appraisal district itself: 334,098 parcels on 2026-10-14, 331,009 of them with an owner. The owner is file_as_name; the parcel id is prop_id (an integer) with the CAD geographic id geo_id. SITUS IS ONE FULL STRING: the situs column holds the whole site address with city and state in one value (for example a house number, street, city name and 'TX'), on 330,212 rows, so an address LIKE on a street word or a '123 MAIN' prefix works (the two largest cities, Edinburg and McAllen, show up in about 41,600 and 40,700 rows). MAILING IS THE STREET LINE ONLY: addr_line1 holds the owner mailing street or PO Box line on 330,779 rows, and addr_line2, addr_line3, addr_city, addr_state and zip are published but empty (0 rows), so the mailing city, state and ZIP are NOT available from this layer; the registry lists addr_line1 as the mailing column for that reason. CONFIDENTIAL OWNERS: 1 row reads exactly 'CONFIDENTIAL' in file_as_name; Texas Tax Code 25.025 lets protected persons have their information withheld, and that word is a placeholder, not an owner name. CORS answers Access-Control-Allow-Origin with the calling origin (checked with Origin https://urbankitstudio.com). maxRecordCount is 2000 with pagination; the layer is Web Mercator (wkid 102100) and a point query with inSR 4326 at the county courthouse in Edinburg returned one parcel whose situs is 100 N Closner Blvd, Edinburg. Currency: the newest last_edited_date and created_date in the layer are both 2026-08-14 (the layer document carries no editingInfo, so this is a row-level date, not a publish date); no tax-year column exists, so the roll year is not stated. LICENSE AND DURABILITY: no license text; the host is a third-party public agency that republishes the district roll for 911 addressing, so the layer index (7) and the service name can change when RGV911 republishes its web-app map; re-resolve from the RGV911 service directory if the liveness probe flags it. The contact is the appraisal district, which owns the underlying roll. Verified 2026-10-14: a count, resultRecordCount=10, an owner LIKE query (360 rows for %SMITH%) and a point query.

    Using this endpoint

    What Hidalgo County publishes

    Hidalgo County's Hidalgo Parcels layer exposes a parcel identifier (Parcel ID (Hidalgo CAD property id)), owner names (Owner Name, Owner Mailing Address (street line)), and address fields (Situs Address). Use it for owner-name lookups and address-based parcel searches. 6 of 8 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.

    Two paths from URL to result

    1. 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.
    2. 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 Hidalgo 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.

    Quick FAQs

    Can I query Hidalgo County's parcel layer from my own web app?

    gis.rgv911.org serves Hidalgo County, Texas 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.

    Is the Hidalgo County endpoint still current?

    We last verified Hidalgo 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.

    Is there a rate limit on Hidalgo County parcel queries?

    Hidalgo County's layer is hosted by the county on gis.rgv911.org. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but gis.rgv911.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.
