# List Jurisdictions By Address

GET https://rest.avatax.com/api/v2/definitions/jurisdictionsnearaddress

> **Access control:** this endpoint is available to users with the `everyone` role.

Returns a list of all Avalara-supported taxing jurisdictions that apply to this address.
            
This API allows you to identify which jurisdictions are nearby a specific address according to the best available geocoding information.
It is intended to allow you to create a "Jurisdiction Override", which allows an address to be configured as belonging to a nearby
jurisdiction in AvaTax.
            
The results of this API call can be passed to the `CreateJurisdictionOverride` API call.
