Circuit court clerks in those localities with a unique parcel identification system shall require that any deed or other instrument conveying or relating to an interest in real property bear, on the first page of the deed or other instrument, or state in the cover sheet submitted with the deed or other instrument, the tax map reference number or numbers, or the parcel identification number (PIN) or numbers, of the affected parcel or parcels.

History
This law was first created in 1982. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 597 of that year’s edition of “Acts of Assembly,” the annual state publication listing all changes made to the Code of Virginia in that year. Unfortunately, the 1982 “Acts” aren’t available online. It has been modified 9 times. Those modifications are cataloged by “The Acts of Assembly,” a state publication, by year and chapter. Those modifications that can be read on the General Assembly’s website will be linked accordingly. Those modifications are as follows: in 1986, chapter 21; in 1988, chapter 116; in 1992, chapter 478; in 1996, chapter 231; in 1997, chapters 224 and 902; in 1998, chapters 75 and 872; in 1999, chapters 133 and 163; in 2000, chapters 440 and 446; in 2014, chapter 338.
