§ 17.1-252. Indexing by tax map reference number; civil penalty.

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, the tax map reference number or numbers, or the parcel identification number (PIN) or numbers, of the affected parcel or parcels. Upon admitting the deed or other instrument to record, the clerk may, in addition to any other indexing required by law, index the deed or other instrument by the tax map reference number or numbers or by the parcel identification number or numbers.

In the event a deed or other instrument presented and accepted for recordation shall be determined to contain an incorrect tax map reference number or numbers, or PIN, then the person or entity having presented the deed or other instrument for recordation in the first instance shall record a corrected deed or other instrument and shall pay the associated recordation fees. A person or entity having received written notice from the clerk and failing to record a corrective deed or other instrument and pay the recordation fees shall be subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $250.
