County GIS Coverage
Five tools read a county’s live public parcel service: Adjoiner Labels, Adjoiner Parcels, Buffer Yard, Site Data and Site Snapshot. They work in any county that publishes its parcels as a public ArcGIS REST layer, the way a large share of U.S. counties publish them. A few counties come built in and verified; every other county is added on your own seat in a few minutes, with no update from us.
Built in and verified
| County | What its service publishes | Queried at | Verified |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horry County, SC | PIN, TMS, owner, mailing address, deed book and page, acreage, zoning (separate zoning layer) | www.horrycounty.org | 2026-07 |
| NC OneMap (statewide) | PIN, owner, mailing address, acreage | services.nconemap.gov | 2026-07 |
| Brunswick County, NC | PIN, short parcel number, owner, mailing address, deed book and page, plat book and page, acreage, zoning (on the parcel layer) | bcgis.brunswickcountync.gov | 2026-07 |
| Georgetown County, SC | PIN, TMS, owner, mailing address, acreage | gis1.georgetowncountysc.org | 2026-07 |
“Verified” means we mapped each field against the county’s live layer and ran real parcel, point and adjoiner queries. A label line whose fields a county does not publish simply drops out, so the tools never print an empty “Deed Book” line.
Your county is not listed
Every dialog with a county list has an Add county… button and says which counties are set up on the seat, so a drawing outside the built-in list is never a dead end:
- Open the county’s ArcGIS REST services page, click the parcel polygon layer, and copy its address (it ends in
/MapServer/0or similar;httpsonly). - Add county…, paste the address, Read the layer’s fields. The tool asks the layer to describe itself and fills the dropdowns with its real field names, pre-selecting the likely ones.
- Pick the State Plane coordinate system your drawings use there, check the field mapping, and press Test to see a live record come back through your mapping.
- Save county. It appears in all five tools at once and is stored in a small file on your seat (
%APPDATA%\VDC\Gis\county-profiles.json) that you can copy to the rest of the office.
Counties that publish parcels only through a non-ArcGIS viewer, behind a login, or not at all cannot be added this way; the federal and state layers in Site Data (flood, wetlands, soils, elevation, survey control) still work there.
Send us your county
Email the county name and the parcel layer address, or your county-profiles.json, to Support@newrootsdevelopment.co. We verify it against the live service and add it to the built-in list in a following release.
Where the data comes from
Parcel and zoning records come straight from each county’s own public service at the moment you run the tool. New Roots does not host, cache or resell them, and the software sends the county nothing but the query (a parcel number, a point, or a parcel outline). Tax-parcel GIS is a county’s assessment map, not a boundary survey: treat what the tools label and draw from it as reference information. A county you add yourself is marked on the command line each time it is used, because its field mapping was set up on your seat rather than verified by us. See the Privacy Policy for every service the software can contact.
What we checked in each built-in county
Horry County, SC
Layer 24 carries PIN as a Double and TMS / OwnerName / DeedBook / DeedPage / Acreage / OwnerStreet as label fields. The dashed plat PIN (257-00-00-0004) is stored without separators in the string field PINtext (25700000004); the numeric PIN field cannot be string-queried, so PinField targets PINtext and the display masks put the separators back. No token required. Zoning is not on the parcel layer: it is resolved by a point query on the zoning-district layer 30, field ZoningCode (verified 2026-07-23).
NC OneMap (statewide)
Statewide layer for all 100 North Carolina counties: parno / ownname / gisacres / mailadd / cntyname, no token. No deed book or page and no TMS in this layer. cntyname is proper case (Brunswick, not BRUNSWICK).
Brunswick County, NC
MapServer/26: PIN (string) / Name1 (owner) / DeedBook / DeedPage / CALCAC (calculated acres) / Address1 (mailing). No TMS. ParcelNumber is the short tax parcel number plats cite (22800010 for PIN 106602959227); PlatBook / PlatPage are published on the same layer (re-verified 2026-07-16). Zoning is published directly on the parcel layer (verified 2026-07-23).
Georgetown County, SC
The queryable polygon layer that also carries owner attributes is Parcels (layer 2); PARCELATTRIBUTES (layer 6) is a geometry-less table and cannot serve centroids or adjacency. Fields ParcelID / TMS / Owner1 / TotalLandArea (acres) / BillingAddress. There is no split deed book and page - only a combined LegalReference (4903-40) - so the deed fields are empty.
