Procedure: This endorsement may be issued on Owner’s or Loan Policies. To issue this endorsement, you must conduct a search of the tax records and review the Sidwell maps (or similar tax maps) where available. If you find:

1.      That the property is a single tax parcel;

2.      That the property has a single PIN; and

3.      What the PIN is,

Then you may issue this endorsement. If you cannot ascertain the above three items, you may not issue this endorsement.

If the property has more than one PIN, then issue the Multiple Tax Parcel Endorsement (ALTA 18.1-06).
