https://services6.arcgis.com/c1IEzrw0UDP7bzay/arcgis/rest/services/HillCADWebService/FeatureServer/0Field by field, whether any endpoint we index for Hill 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.

Hill County, Texas (county seat Hillsboro; FIPS 48217) was asked for through the free tools. The parcels are Hill County Appraisal District (Hill CAD) data, published as HillCADWebService FeatureServer layer 0 ('Parcels') on an ArcGIS Online organisation run by the district's GIS vendor rather than by the county or the district: 39,102 parcels on 2026-10-10, 38,923 of them with an owner. The owner is file_as_name; the owner mailing address is addr_line2 (the street line, on about 38,200 rows) with addr_line1 (a care-of or second name line, on about 5,200 rows, often starting with %) and addr_line3, plus addr_city, addr_state and zip; the parcel id is prop_id (an integer; prop_id_text holds the same value as text) with the CAD geographic id geo_id. SPLIT SITUS: the site address is spread over situs_num (the house number, on about 25,100 rows), situs_street_prefx, situs_street (about 38,500 rows) and situs_street_sufix, plus situs_city and situs_zip. Rural parcels often carry a road name such as a farm-to-market road in situs_street and no situs_num. Search an address on situs_street (LIKE on a street word), adding situs_num = the house number when there is one; a LIKE on a full '123 MAIN ST' string matches nothing because no column holds it. The registry lists situs_street as the site-address column, so an address lookup verifies the street name but cannot verify the house number against the geocoded address. Owner rows carry the appraisal district's tax year (owner_tax_yr 2027, the preliminary roll year, on every owner row). CONFIDENTIAL OWNERS: 213 rows read exactly 'CONFIDENTIAL' in file_as_name with a blank mailing address; Texas Tax Code §25.025 lets protected persons (peace officers, judges, family-violence victims and similar categories) have their information withheld from appraisal records, and that word is a placeholder, not an owner name. CORS answers Access-Control-Allow-Origin *. maxRecordCount is 2000 with pagination. Currency: the layer's dataLastEditDate is 2026-10-09. LICENSE AND DURABILITY: the item has no description, license or contact text, and the hosting account belongs to the district's vendor, so the URL can move or be renamed on a vendor republish; re-resolve from Hill CAD if the liveness probe flags it. The contact is Hill CAD itself. Verified 2026-10-10: a count, resultRecordCount=1, an owner LIKE query (329 rows for %SMITH%) and a situs_street LIKE query on MAIN (153 rows). PAID USE PAUSED: the BIS viewer splash says the data "cannot be used without consent" and the Hill CAD eSearch terms bar commercial use without approval, so paid lookups are paused (county-access floor, 2026-10-21) while we ask the district for written permission.

Hill County's Parcels layer exposes a parcel identifier (Parcel ID (Hill CAD property id)), owner names (Owner Name, Owner Mailing Address (street line), Owner Mailing City), and address fields (Situs Address (street name; house number is situs_num), Situs House Number, Situs City). Use it for owner-name lookups and address-based parcel searches. 9 of 18 listed fields accept queries; the rest are returned on read but not indexed for search. Served as an ArcGIS FeatureServer layer, so edits and applyEdits operations are technically exposed (read access only is published here); last verified 2026-10-10.
/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 Hill County actually publishes, not what you might expect from a national standard (there isn't one).

services6.arcgis.com serves Hill 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.
We last verified Hill County's FeatureServer layer on 2026-10-10. 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.
Hill County's layer is hosted on Esri ArcGIS Online. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but services6.arcgis.com 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.
