Pursuant to authority set forth in Revenue and Taxation Code § 11911.1, 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 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 number 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.
