What this form is
The Covenant in Lieu of Unity of Title is a recorded legal instrument that binds two or more adjacent parcels (folios) to function as a single building site without formally unifying their titles. Florida City requires it when a project spans multiple folios, and it is reviewed by the City Planner and City Attorney before recording. Because it runs with the land and is recorded against the property, the owner's signature must be notarized.
Who needs it
Florida City property owners developing across two or more adjacent folios who must commit the parcels to a single building site.
Why it needs a notary
As a covenant recorded against the property, Florida City requires the owner's signature to be notarized before it is accepted and recorded.
