What this form is
Selah uses this agreement when an owner seeks municipal water or sewage service for property outside the city’s jurisdiction. It identifies the property and sets conditions covering fees, permits, future development, annexation, and other obligations tied to the service. The form says the agreement must be recorded with the Yakima County Auditor and binds the owner’s successors and assigns. The owner also agrees to disclose the agreement to prospective successors and require a new owner to sign a duplicate.
Who needs it
A property owner outside Selah’s jurisdiction who applies to the city for municipal water or sewage service may need to complete this agreement.
Why it needs a notary
