A parcel number is the county's unique ID for the lot, often labeled APN or PIN. It is an index key on the roll, not a value and not a tax amount.
A parcel number on a property tax notice is the county's unique identifier for that lot, also printed as an APN or PIN. It is an index key, not a value and not a tax. Two neighbors can share a street and still carry different parcel numbers because the county tracks lots, not mailboxes.
What is a parcel number, APN, or PIN on a tax notice?
The IAAO glossary defines a parcel identification number as a numeric or alphanumeric designation that uniquely identifies a parcel. Assessor's parcel number (APN) and property identification number (PIN) are local stamps for the same key. The identifier points at one row on the tax roll. This page names that key. It is not a search tutorial.
Example: parcel 12-34-567 with $200,000 assessed. The ID is the row key. The $200,000 is the tax figure. That stub is an example of the split, not a real account.
Look up if you are overpaying.
Is a parcel number the same as assessed value?
No. The parcel number labels the lot. Assessed value is the dollar figure millage later multiplies. A property tax appeal names the parcel so the county knows which row to open, then argues about the dollars on that row. The property tax glossary keeps the ID next to the value. FairAppeal presents evidence and manages the case through resolution when a filing goes forward, and there are no upfront costs with Fair Appeal.
