Each deed, instrument or writing by which lands, tenements or other realty is sold, granted, assigned, transferred or otherwise conveyed shall have noted upon it the tax roll parcel number. The number will be used only for administrative and procedural purposes and will not be proof of title; and in the event of any conflicts, the stated legal description noted upon the document shall govern. The validity of such a document shall not be affected by the fact that such parcel number is erroneous or omitted, and there shall be no liability attaching to any person for an error in such number or for omission of such number. The recorder shall not accept any deed, instrument or conveyance for recording unless the tax roll parcel number has been noted upon it. A parcel which has been created by the division of an existing parcel and which at the time of recording has no separate parcel number shall have noted upon it the words “portion of” and the parcel number of the parcel from which it was created.
