What this form is
Property owners use this form to ask Palmdale's Engineering Division to confirm that a parcel legally complies with the Subdivision Map Act (Government Code §66410 et seq.) and the city's Division of Land Ordinance, often needed to clear title or support a future transaction. Because the resulting certificate is recorded against the property, every owner's signature on the request must be notarized.
Who needs it

Why it needs a notary
The form states 'NOTE: All signatures must be notarized. Attach acknowledgement form(s)' for every owner signing the request.
