Frequently asked questions

- The form requires a notarized letter of authorization when the applicant is different from the legal property owner. If you are unsure whether this applies to your situation, confirm with the city if unsure.

- 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); check that the City of Banning will accept the notarized letter.
