Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the property owner affidavit?

- Do I need a notary for this application?
- The property owner's affidavit includes a notarial acknowledgment. The form says that if multiple people have an ownership interest, a separate page with each person's name, address, and notarized signature must be attached.
- Can I notarize the affidavit 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); confirm with the city if unsure.
