What this form is
Under Government Code Section 66007, a residential development project in Pleasanton may defer payment of development impact fees until the first certificate of occupancy is issued. To secure the deferred amount, the property owner signs this agreement granting the City a lien against the property, which is then recorded with the Alameda County Recorder. Because it is a recorded lien instrument, the owner's signature must be notarized.
Who needs it
Residential developers or property owners in Pleasanton who want to defer development impact fees under a City-approved fee deferral agreement.
Why it needs a notary
The agreement is recorded against the property to create an enforceable lien, so the owner's signature must be notarized with a California acknowledgment before a notary public.
