What this form is
When a Calabasas property owner cannot personally handle the permitting process, this form lets them name an agent to pull building permits for a specific project address. Because the authorization affects who can act on the owner's property rights with the City, the form requires the owner's signature to be notarized before Building & Safety will accept it.
Who needs it
Calabasas property owners who want a designated agent, contractor, or representative to pull building permits on their behalf.
Why it needs a notary
The form states in bold, directly beneath the owner's signature line, 'THIS DOCUMENT MUST BE NOTARIZED.'
