What this form is
Buyers in the Town of Truckee's Home Access Program (THAP) sign this Deed Restriction to keep their purchased home affordable and occupied as a primary residence by a qualified local worker for 55 years. Once signed and notarized, the Town records it against the property in the Nevada County Official Records so the restriction runs with the land through future sales.
Who needs it
Homebuyers purchasing a THAP-restricted property in Truckee, and any subsequent qualified owner taking title to one.
Why it needs a notary
The document is recorded against real property and includes a full California All-Purpose Acknowledgment for the Declarant's signature, which a notary public must complete.
