What this form is
Grants Pass uses this agreement with a Best Management Practices permit application to document the stormwater facilities at a site, who will maintain them, and the responsible party’s contact information. The agreement sets out inspection, deficiency correction, and cost responsibilities, and binds present and future property owners. The form includes a recording-use box and says amendments must be recorded in Josephine County’s official records.
Who needs it
Property owners applying for a Best Management Practices permit must identify the site’s stormwater practices and the party responsible for their maintenance.
Why it needs a notary
The form carries an Oregon acknowledgment; the Responsible Party signs and acknowledges the document as their voluntary act before the notary.
