Frequently asked questions
- How do I submit the notarized property owner consent?
- If you are not the property owner of record, include the separate Property Owner’s Statement of Consent with the application. The owner or authorized representative completes and signs that statement before a notary.
- Do I need to notarize the entire permit application?
- The form specifies that the separate Property Owner’s Statement of Consent must be notarized when the applicant or owner is not the property owner of record. It does not say the entire application must be notarized.
- Can I use remote online notarization for the owner consent?
- 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); ask a commissioned online notary about availability and confirm with the city if unsure.
- What documents accompany the permit application?
- The form lists an application fee and supporting materials such as operation and security descriptions, plans, ownership information, and applicable operation-type submittals. The City may request further information.
