Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the SB 330 application notarized?
- Complete the form, then sign the property owner or applicant Notarized Signature line before a notary. If an agent signs, the form says written owner authorization must be attached and notarized too.
- Do I need to notarize both signature lines?
- The form labels separate property owner and applicant signatures as notarized. The applicable signer or signers should sign before a notary; confirm with the city if unsure.
- Can I use an online notary for this California city form?
- 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); a commissioned online notary may be an option.
