What this form is
Property owners merging adjoining parcels into a single legal lot must complete a Certificate and Declaration of Parcel Merger as part of Oroville's Parcel Merger application package. Because the certificate is recorded against title once the merger is approved, every owner and holder of record title interest must sign, and the city's own checklist calls for a notary statement for all signatories.
Who needs it
Property owners in Oroville who are merging two or more adjoining parcels into one legal parcel.
Why it needs a notary
The Certificate and Declaration of Parcel Merger is a recorded instrument; owner signature lines are each followed by 'Notary (attached)' and the application checklist requires a notary statement for every signatory.
