How does one identify a house? I naively once thought it was as simple as an address, but various government agencies have shown me the error of my misguided thinking.
Our house has:
- an address
- a parcel number
- a lot and unit number with an estate location
- an assessor map number
Each of these things uniquely defines our house as an entity. However, depending on which government agency you are working with you may need to identify your house by one or all of these various numbers. I'm a bit confused by this concept.
Why does the county builders office use the parcel number, but the approval form needed to request a permit only references the lot and unit number?
Why do the property taxes reference the parcel number when clearly they are mailing it to the address and the value is based off the assessors report??
Why does the assessor report only refer to map number???
As a person I have several identification numbers. As I am a series of numbers and not an actual person to most agencies, I have to worry about my identity being stolen. But now I'm wondering if I have to worry about my house's identity being stolen...
Maybe I should tell the house to stop buying stupid stuff off of questionable websites. No more "no prescription Prozac" for this house.
