Yes - they're an ESRI shop - it's arcserver 10. I had no idea they were
sharing out their data in this manner. It's actually quite shocking
considering if you look at their prices for data.
I've seen talk of a plugin for JOSM....and I've searched and haven't
found one. I figure this has the chance of happening more and more and
being a good problem - counties/cities sharing their data out...well -
at least imagery.
Anywho,

The county must be running ESRI stuff on their back end, which is why

JOSM would need to support this ESRI REST API in order for you to
consume the county's data. If JOSM doesn't already have this support
baked in, it may be able to be added to JOSM via a plugin. That might
be a worthwhile endeavor if a lot of agencies are starting to publicly
expose their data via this API.
By the way, if I recall correctly, JOSM uses another ESRI API for USGS
imagery, which is based on XML web services (which is way more
complicated and verbose than REST). So if JOSM is able to use that
ESRI API, I have to think support can be added for this other one.
But I'm nary the JOSM expert. Is there a JOSM mailing list?
