An Act amending the act of January 15, 1988 (P.L.1, No.1), known as the Uniform Parcel Identifier Law, further providing for fees.
This bill updates Pennsylvania's Uniform Parcel Identifier Law to establish a clear fee structure for counties that create uniform land identification systems. It requires local officials to charge a flat fee for each parcel identifier assigned and limits the total cost for recording any single document to $10,000, regardless of how many parcels are involved. The changes apply to counties that have already enacted ordinances to set up these modern land record systems to help with property transfers and tax assessments. The new fee rules will take effect 60 days after the bill becomes law.
