What this form is
Property owners must apply to the Murray City Planning Division and receive approval before operating a short-term rental. The application packet includes a property owner affidavit that must be signed before a notary, along with property details, plans, and a safety checklist. The form describes hosted sharing only: the owner must live on-site during guest stays. Planning approval is not a business license; the applicant must also obtain a business license and a separate building permit.
Who needs it
Property owners seeking to operate a hosted short-term rental in an eligible Murray City zone must submit this application and the required supporting materials.
Why it needs a notary
The form carries an acknowledgment block; each property owner signing the affidavit must appear before the notary and acknowledge signing it.
