Frequently asked questions
- When does this planning application require notarization?
- The form says the property owner's signature must be notarized if the owner designates an agent to act and make decisions for the project.
- How do I get the property owner's signature notarized online?
- California notaries cannot perform remote online notarization until the Secretary of State certifies the technology (or 2030). California recognizes out-of-state notarizations under Civil Code §1189(b); ask a commissioned online notary about options and confirm with the city if unsure.
- Do I need to notarize the agent's signature too?
- The form specifically says the property owner's signature must be notarized when designating an agent. It does not state that the agent's signature must be notarized.
- What supporting documents does the application list?
- The form lists applicable map or site plan materials, an environmental assessment, a preliminary title report or deed, an application fee and deposit, a current property tax statement, and other items staff may determine.
