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.

Salem, Virginia (an independent city, county-equivalent FIPS 51775). The city publishes its tax parcels itself on ArcGIS Online (organisation SalemVA_GIS) as TaxParcels FeatureServer layer 5 (the service has a single layer, id 5, described 'City of Salem, Virginia tax parcel layer'): 10,765 parcels on 2026-10-14, 10,681 of them with an owner. The owner is owner (varchar 1000); the previous owner is prev_owner. The situs is FullAddress (10,681 rows; also split into street_number, street_name and street_suffix, with zip_code). The parcel id is GPIN (a 14-character string such as 0633-03-384633, on all 10,765 rows), with tax_map_number as the city's tax map id (10,681 rows). MAILING ADDRESS: owner_address2 is the street line (10,680 rows; it equals the situs on 6,533 rows, the owner-occupied parcels; 809 are PO boxes), owner_city_state and owner_zip complete it, and owner_address1 is a care-of line populated on only 803 rows (791 start with C/O), so it is not the primary street line. Currency: Last_Rundate peaks at 2026-10-13, the day before verification, and date_of_transfer reaches 2025-06 on sampled rows; the service's dataLastEditDate is also 2026-10-13. CORS: Access-Control-Allow-Origin is '*' (ArcGIS Online hosted service). maxRecordCount is 2000 with pagination; the layer wkid is 102747 (Virginia South State Plane, US feet) so a lon/lat point query takes inSR=4326 and works. No license text is published on the layer. Verified 2026-10-14: owner LIKE %SMITH% returned 103 rows (10 with resultRecordCount=10), situs LIKE %MAIN ST% 353 rows, and a point query at the Census internal point -80.05524,37.28533 returned one parcel on S Market St with zip 24153. The city's other ArcGIS Online items (an exempt-parcels map and a dashboard) and a WFS copy of the same parcels are not registered.

Salem city's TaxParcels layer exposes a parcel identifier (Parcel ID (GPIN)), 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. 5 of 13 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.
/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 Salem city actually publishes, not what you might expect from a national standard (there isn't one).

services7.arcgis.com serves Salem city, Virginia 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 Salem city'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.
Salem city's layer is hosted on Esri ArcGIS Online. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but services7.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.
