The form also lists plans and other materials required for submittal, and encourages applicants to contact the Planning and Building and Safety Divisions before filing.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I prepare the owner affidavit for notarization?
- The property owner completes and signs the Property Owner(s) Affidavit before a notary. The form says an agent or attorney may not sign for the owner, and an acknowledgment should be attached.
- Do I need to notarize the applicant’s affidavit too?
- The form specifically requires notarization of the Property Owner(s) Affidavit. It provides a separate Applicant’s Affidavit with a signature and date line but does not specify notarization for that section.
- Can I use an online notary for this form?
- California notaries cannot perform remote online notarization until the Secretary of State certifies the technology or 2030. California recognizes out-of-state notarizations. Ask whether a commissioned online notary can complete the acknowledgment for your filing.
- What supporting materials does the application list?
- The form lists site plans, elevations, floor plans, and, for some projects, preliminary grading and landscape plans. It also lists a filing fee. Contact the Planning and Building and Safety Divisions before filing if you have questions.
- Does the property owner have to sign the affidavit personally?
- Yes. The form says the affidavit may not be signed by an agent or attorney. It must be signed by the property owner or, for a corporate owner, an owner authorized to sign official documents; confirm with the city if unsure.
