What this form is
Agoura Hills requires this agreement when adjoining property owners want to build a common fence or wall without a licensed surveyor's property line certification. Each signing owner accepts shared maintenance responsibility and agrees to hold the City harmless from related claims. Because it affects multiple owners' property rights, the City requires a notary acknowledgment for every signature.
Who needs it
Two or more adjoining property owners in Agoura Hills who are jointly building or maintaining a fence or wall on or near their shared, unsurveyed property line.
Why it needs a notary
The form states explicitly that notary acknowledgments for each signature must be attached, since it binds multiple owners and their successors to shared property obligations.
