What this form is
Property owners in Millbrae who want to combine up to four contiguous parcels they already own into a single legal parcel use the Notice of Lot Merger. Because the notice is recorded against title at the San Mateo County Recorder, California law requires the owner's signature to be acknowledged before a notary before the county will accept it for recording.
Who needs it
Millbrae property owners merging multiple contiguous parcels under common ownership into one recorded parcel.
Why it needs a notary
The form is a 'recording requested by' instrument mailed to the County Recorder after City approval; documents recorded against real property title in California must carry a notarized acknowledgment under Government Code Section 27201.
