What this form is
The application gathers business, ownership, property, operations, security, vehicle, and background information for the City of Avalon’s review of a medical cannabis delivery service business permit. Applicants submit it to the City Manager’s Office with required supporting documents and fees; the application says the process includes departmental review and inspections. If the applicant is not the property owner, the application checklist requires an original notarized property-owner authorization form. This application is not a permit, and operations cannot begin until valid permits are issued.
Who needs it
Businesses applying for a new or renewed Avalon medical cannabis delivery service permit need this application; applicants who do not own the proposed site also need notarized property-owner authorization.
Why it needs a notary
The property-owner authorization carries an acknowledgment certificate, and each property owner, landlord, or lessor signing that authorization must appear before a notary.

Frequently asked questions
- Which part of the application needs notarization?
- The checklist calls for an original notarized Property Owner Authorization Form if the applicant is not the owner of the proposed business location. The authorization itself says it is not valid without notarization.
- Do I need a notary if I own the proposed business location?
- The checklist specifies notarized property-owner authorization when the applicant is not the property owner. If your situation is unclear, confirm with the city if unsure.
- How do I get the property-owner authorization notarized online?
- California notaries cannot perform remote online notarization until the Secretary of State certifies the technology or 2030. A commissioned online notary in another state may be an option; California recognizes out-of-state notarizations under Civil Code §1189(b). Confirm acceptance with the city before proceeding.
- Can I operate after submitting this application?
- No. The form states that this application is not a medical cannabis business permit and that you must not operate until a valid permit is issued. It also says required local and state permits must be issued before operations begin.
