What this form is
Property owners whose development project was approved with a condition to construct an on-site detention basin must record this declaration with the City of Oxnard. It obligates the owner (the Declarant) and future owners to inspect, maintain, and replace the basin at their own expense, since the basin remains a private facility. Because it is recorded against the property with the Ventura County Recorder, the declarant's signature must be notarized.
Who needs it
Property owners or developers in Oxnard whose approved project requires an on-site storm-water detention basin.
Why it needs a notary
The declaration includes a full California notarial acknowledgment block and California Civil Code §1189 disclaimer, since it is recorded against title.
