What this form is
This covenant is recorded against a property's title and secures a property owner's promise to pay arterial street development fees over time under the City's Alternate Payment Method Program. It is backed by a promissory note and deed of trust and binds future owners until the fee is paid in full, so the signature must be verified before the document is accepted for recording.
Who needs it
Property owners or developers in Agoura Hills who choose to pay arterial street system development fees on an installment basis rather than in full.
Why it needs a notary
As a document recorded with the Los Angeles County Recorder against the property's title, the owner's signature must be notarized to be legally recordable.
