What this form is
The affidavit certifies that the application information is complete and correct, the property is the applicant’s primary residence, and neighborhood notice was provided. It also records whether restrictions apply, any HOA consent, and the applicant’s tax and indemnification commitments. The City requires the affidavit to be completed in its entirety and the applicant’s signature to be notarized; without the notary acknowledgment, the short-term rental application is incomplete.
Who needs it
Short-term rental permit applicants must complete this affidavit, and all property owners must sign the owner signature section before submitting the application.
Why it needs a notary
The form requires a notary acknowledgment for the applicant’s signature; all property owners must sign the affidavit, but the form does not specify notarization for each owner.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the short-term rental affidavit?
- Complete every section, provide the requested property and neighborhood details, check the applicable restrictions statement, and obtain the required notary acknowledgment before submitting your permit application.
- Do I need to notarize the affidavit?
- Yes. The form says the applicant’s signature must be notarized and that the application is incomplete without a notary acknowledgment.
- Can I use a commissioned online notary?
- 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).
- What if my property is in an HOA?
- The affidavit says to indicate that the property is in an HOA and that you have obtained written consent from its governing board for short-term rental use, attaching that consent to your application. Confirm with the city if unsure.
