What this form is
Property owners use this package to apply to Manchester’s Planning and Community Development Department to merge existing lots. It collects lot and owner details, certifies application information, and includes an owner affidavit about mortgages, a mortgagee consent affidavit when needed, and a Notice of Merger. The package checklist calls for an executed Notice of Merger and supporting property records; the merger is not effective until the notice is recorded with the Hillsborough County Registry of Deeds and a copy is sent to the City Assessor.
Who needs it
Property owners applying to merge lots in Manchester need this package, with mortgagee consent materials when one or more mortgages are held on the property.
Why it needs a notary
The owner and any mortgagee signing the affidavits swear to and subscribe before a notary; the property owner also acknowledges the Notice of Merger before a notary.
