What is the name of the number that the county property appraisal assigns to every property?

• A. Assessors parcel numbers
• B. Property ID numbers
• C. Parcel IDs
• D. Tax IDs

Answer: (A)

Property records rely on a unique parcel identifier assigned by the county assessor. This number uniquely identifies a parcel across tax rolls, assessment records, deeds, and maps. The standard label for this identifier is the Assessor's Parcel Number, a single, parcel-specific code used by the assessor's office to organize property data. That's why this option is the best—it directly refers to the official parcel identifier created by the assessor to identify every property. Other terms people use, like property ID or parcel ID, may appear in different contexts, but they are not the formal identifier tied to the tax and assessment records; the assessor's parcel number is the precise term.
