    What these endpoints answer

    Field by field, whether any endpoint we index for Island 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

    Island County, Washington (county seat Coupeville) serves its parcels from the Assessor's own ArcGIS Server, joined to the PACS assessor data and exported nightly per the service description. The owner field is called taxpayer, the parcel id ParcelNo (for example R03213-384-4950), the site address physical_addr with its city, state and ZIP parts, and the owner mailing address mailing_addr1 to mailing_addr3 with city, state and ZIP. ParcelNo and taxpayer values carry trailing spaces, so trim on display, and some parcels (vacant land) have a blank physical_addr. Named outFields are accepted. CORS reflects the request Origin and sends Access-Control-Allow-Credentials true, so it is not a wildcard. maxRecordCount is 60000. The layer's copyright text reads DO NOT USE AS LEGAL DOCUMENT and no license is stated. Two sibling services carry the same data and serve as fallbacks: SmartGov/Parcels MapServer and Auditor/BaseMap MapServer layer 0. The contact URL is the county map server root, which answered HTTP 200 on 2026-10-03; no separate Assessor contact page was retrieved. Verified live 2026-10-03: owner SMITH returned rows (first owner SMITH, COLIN, R13334-372-1430).

    Using this endpoint

    What Island County publishes

    Island County's Parcels layer exposes a parcel identifier (Parcel ID), owner names (Owner Name (Taxpayer), Owner Mailing Address Line 1, Owner Mailing City), and address fields (Site Address, Site City). Use it for owner-name lookups and address-based parcel searches. 6 of 12 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.

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

    maps.islandcountywa.gov serves Island County, Washington 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 Island County endpoint still current?

    We last verified Island 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.

    Is there a rate limit on Island County parcel queries?

    Island County's layer is hosted by the county on maps.islandcountywa.gov. Public ArcGIS endpoints rarely rate-limit individual reads, but maps.islandcountywa.gov 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.
