Pennsylvania Statutes Title 21 P.S. Deeds and Mortgages § 10.1. Uniform parcel identifier; conveyances, mortgages, releases, and other instruments

(a) In counties adopting a uniform parcel identifier system under statutory provisions on parcel identification, all conveyances, mortgages or releases or other instruments affecting real estate included in the system may be made by reference to the uniform parcel identifier of the real estate being conveyed, mortgaged, released or otherwise affected as indicated on the recorded county tax maps. The first conveyance, mortgage, release or other instrument affecting real estate recorded after the adoption of an ordinance under the statutory provisions on parcel identification shall contain the uniform parcel identifier assigned to the parcel or parcels affected by such instrument. Thereafter, the first conveyance after a change of size and description of real estate represented by a uniform parcel identifier shall contain, in addition to the uniform parcel identifier assigned to the parcel, or parcels affected by the instrument, either:

(b) Any subsequent conveyance, mortgage, release or other instrument affecting real estate so made by reference to the uniform parcel identifier and the record location where the metes and bounds description or first number and reference to a recorded plot plan last appears shall be as effective to pass title or affect title to the real estate so described as it would be if the premises had been described by the metes and bounds description used in the first instrument so recorded or appearing in the recorded subdivision plan.

(c) The uniform parcel identifier, the recorded tax map or record thereof or the recorded subdivision plan shall be received in evidence and in all courts and places as describing the real estate therein designated as though the same were set forth in full as appearing in the first conveyance, mortgage, release or other instrument or as shown on the recorded subdivision plan.
