Parcel Identification Number (PIN)
A Parcel Identification Number (PIN) is a unique identifier assigned to a specific piece of real estate, such as a plot of land or property. This number helps local governments and organizations track ownership, assess property taxes, and manage land use. Each PIN corresponds to one property, making it easier for buyers, sellers, and officials to find information about zoning, property history, and taxes. Essentially, it's like a license plate for a property, ensuring that every parcel can be accurately identified and managed within public records.
