    — Notes

    King County, Washington (Seattle metro, pop. 2.3M, county seat Seattle) is the most populous Washington county, containing Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Renton, and Kent. The KingCo_Parcels MapServer layer publishes parcel polygons with three identifier fields: PIN (10-digit Parcel Identification Number), MAJOR (first 6 digits of PIN, identifying the parcel block), and MINOR (last 4 digits, the parcel within the block). No owner name, situs address, or assessment values are on this public REST layer. Washington State law broadly restricts owner-name exposure on public REST endpoints; King County follows this consistently. Confirmed live 2026-06-06 -- 638,577 parcels, PIN-searchable. For ownership lookups, use the King County Assessor's eReal Property portal at info.kingcounty.gov/assessor/emap/ (search by address, PIN, or complex name). The interactive Parcel Viewer is at gismaps.kingcounty.gov/parcelviewer2/. Bulk GIS downloads: kingcounty.gov/services/gis/GISData.aspx.

    Using this endpoint

    What King County publishes

    King County's King County Parcels layer exposes parcel identifiers (Parcel Identification Number, Major (first 6 of PIN), Minor (last 4 of PIN)). Use it for PIN-keyed record pulls (owner-name search lives on a separate assessor system). All 3 listed fields accept queries. Served as an ArcGIS MapServer layer, which supports query operations but not write operations; last verified 2026-06-06.

    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 King County actually publishes — not what you might expect from a national standard (there isn't one).

    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

    This URL gives me a CORS error in my own app — what now?

    Many county servers allow public reads but block browser cross-origin requests. The UrbanKit parcel lookup tool fetches directly from your browser; if it works there, the layer is technically public. For your own integration, you may need a same-origin proxy or server-side fetch.

    The endpoint loaded last week and now returns 404. Did the URL change?

    Possibly — counties move services without warning. We re-verify entries weekly and flag stale ones. If you're seeing a fresh 404, please let us know and we'll update the listing.

    Are these endpoints free to query at scale?

    Most are. Public ArcGIS layers don't typically rate-limit individual reads, but heavy programmatic use can trigger throttling at the host level. Be respectful — query what you need.
