What is a Parcel Number and how does it work?
The Parcel Number is a unique parcel ID assigned by the county to a identify the property. It’s like an address. For example, a Parcel Number for a lot located in Dauphin County could be represented as 36-066-275. The “36” is the district number for the municipality. The “066” is the map page number this property appears on in the county Planning & Zoning Department. “275” is a single parcel on Map 66. Every county uses some variation of this numbering system. *Note to Commercial Appraisers: Complex commercial sales such as an Army Depot may not appear on the STEB Report from the county.
