What this form is
Use this application to identify the contiguous lots and their owners and certify that the ownership, tax, and mortgage-related conditions stated on the form are met. The Town requires the applicable tax map, deed copies, mortgage holder consent when required, and fees with the application. After municipal review and approval, the notice is recorded at the Belknap County Registry of Deeds; the form says the parcels are then deemed merged and cannot be separately transferred without subdivision approval.
Who needs it
All owners of record for the contiguous lots must be identified on the application and sign the owner certification.
Why it needs a notary
The form has an acknowledgment-before-me block for each owner; each owner signs the certification before a notary public or Justice of the Peace.
