    What these endpoints answer

    Field by field, whether any endpoint we index for Nueces 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

    Nueces County, Texas (county seat Corpus Christi; FIPS 48355) was asked for through the free tools. The parcels are Nueces Central Appraisal District (Nueces CAD) data, published as NuecesCADWebService FeatureServer layer 0 ('Parcels') on an ArcGIS Online organisation run by the district's GIS vendor rather than by the county or the district (the same vendor schema as the Hill County record): 157,404 parcels on 2026-10-14, 155,296 of them with an owner. The owner is file_as_name; the owner mailing address is addr_line2 (the street line, on 153,965 rows) with addr_line1 (a care-of or second name line) 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), situs_street_prefx, situs_street (148,973 rows) and situs_street_sufix, plus situs_city and situs_zip; some rows carry an intersection such as 'A @ B' or only a highway name in situs_street. 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, the only value on every owner row). CONFIDENTIAL OWNERS: 6 rows read exactly 'CONFIDENTIAL' in file_as_name; Texas Tax Code 25.025 lets protected persons have their information withheld from appraisal records, and that word is a placeholder, not an owner name. CORS answers Access-Control-Allow-Origin * (checked with Origin https://urbankitstudio.com). maxRecordCount is 2000 with pagination; the layer is in Texas South Central state plane (wkid 102741/2279) and a point query with inSR 4326 reprojects correctly (a point on a Corpus Christi downtown street corner returned no parcel, a point at the county courthouse block returned one). Currency: the layer's dataLastEditDate is 2026-10-14 (01:53 UTC). LICENSE AND DURABILITY: the item carries no license 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 Nueces CAD if the liveness probe flags it. Older third-party Nueces parcel items exist on ArcGIS Online (2017 and 2020 snapshots) and are not this layer. The contact is Nueces CAD itself. Verified 2026-10-14: a count, resultRecordCount=10 and an owner LIKE query (733 rows for %SMITH%). PAID USE PAUSED: the BIS viewer splash says the data "cannot be used without consent" and the Nueces 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.

    Using this endpoint

    What Nueces County publishes

    Nueces County's Parcels layer exposes a parcel identifier (Parcel ID (Nueces 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 2026-10-14.

    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 Nueces 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 Nueces County's parcel layer from my own web app?

    services6.arcgis.com serves Nueces 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 Nueces County endpoint still current?

    We last verified Nueces County's FeatureServer 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 Nueces County parcel queries?

    Nueces 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.
