What this form is
Calabasas requires a licensed contractor to formally identify which employees may pull permits under the contractor's license number. Because the form vests permitting authority in people who are not the license holder, the City requires the contractor's signature to be notarized before it will honor the authorization, which then stays valid until the contractor updates it.
Who needs it
Licensed contractors working in Calabasas who want specific employees authorized to pull building permits on the company's behalf.
Why it needs a notary
The form states in bold, directly beneath the signature line, 'THIS DOCUMENT MUST BE NOTARIZED,' with a dedicated block for the notary seal.
