What this form is
This agreement is recorded against title when a property owner splits a lot under California Senate Bill 9. It memorializes the City's conditions of approval, including that the resulting parcels stay residential, cannot be further subdivided, and cannot be rented short-term. Because it is recorded with the Marin County Recorder, the owner's signature must be notarized so the county will accept it for recording.
Who needs it
Property owners in Mill Valley who receive approval for an SB 9 urban lot split and must record this restriction before the parcel map is finalized.
Why it needs a notary
The agreement is recorded against the property title, and county recorders require a notarized acknowledgment before accepting any document for recording.
