What county am I in?
Find the county at your location, with its FIPS code where available.
Your coordinates are sent to ParseAPI for the lookup.
Use it in your app
GET /point?lat=25.77&lon=-80.19
Look up a place from its coordinates, with county, state, country, and timezone where available. Add deep=true for elevation, included on every plan. Location accuracy matters near a boundary. Same endpoint on every plan, one pooled request per lookup.
QUESTIONS
- How is this different from county by ZIP?
- A ZIP can cross county lines. This tool looks up the county at the coordinates you provide. Check the location accuracy when you are near a boundary.
- Do you store my location?
- Coordinates are sent to ParseAPI for the lookup and included in request logs. The page asks for location only when you tap the button.
- Does it work outside the US?
- Some countries return an equivalent subdivision, such as a department or district. The name and code depend on the country. Missing coverage stays blank; FIPS codes are specific to US counties.
- Can I do this from code?
- Yes. GET /point?lat={lat}&lon={lon} returns country, state, district, and timezone where available. Add deep=true for elevation, included on every plan. One pooled request per lookup.
