Frequently asked questions
- How do I notarize the owner signatures for this application?
- Check the city’s instructions for which signatures need notarization. If notarization is required, book with a commissioned online notary and sign during the video session. 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).
- Do I need a notary for every owner signing the merger documents?
- The application requires a Notary Statement of all signatories and includes a sample notary statement. It also says the Certificate and Declaration must be signed by each owner and holder of record title interest. Confirm which signatures require notarization with the city.
- What documents go with the parcel merger application?
- The required package includes a current title report, evidence legally creating the parcels, signed certificates and declarations, a notary statement, Exhibits A, B, and C, a certificate of merger, and applicable fees. A modified deed of trust or agent authorization letter may also be needed.
- Can an agent submit this application for the property owners?
- Yes. The form says that when owners designate an agent to process the merger, a signed Letter of Authorization must accompany the application. It also states that an agent authorization letter is required if the applicant is not the property owner; confirm with the city if unsure.
