What this form is
Canton requires a completed, signed Property Owner Consent Form with every development application. The owner identifies the property and project, affirms ownership, consents to the application, and may authorize people to submit it and act as contacts. Each owner must sign a separate copy when a property has multiple owners. If an organization owns the property, the form says proof of the signer’s authority must be attached.
Who needs it
Property owners submitting a development application in Canton need this form, with separate copies for each owner and authority evidence for an organization’s signer.
Why it needs a notary
The form contains an acknowledgment stating that the owner personally appeared and acknowledged executing the instrument; the property owner signs before a notary.

- Yes. The form says each owner must sign a separate copy when the property has more than one owner.
- Can an organization sign the form?
