What this form is
Seal Beach's Planning Application Form requires the property owner to complete a Property Owner's Acknowledgement confirming that the statements in the application are true and that they consent to the required improvements. Because the acknowledgement is executed under a California all-purpose notarial certificate, the city requires the owner's signature to be witnessed and notarized before the Planning Division will accept the application for processing.

Why it needs a notary
