What this form is
Roseville Municipal Code Chapter 19.60 requires a recorded deed restriction whenever a junior ADU is approved, prohibiting its sale apart from the primary home and tying its legality to owner occupancy. Under California Government Code Section 27281.5, the declaration must be recorded with the Placer County Recorder, and the city's own instructions state the signatures must be notarized before the City Attorney's Office and City Clerk will process it for recording.
Who needs it
Roseville property owners who received approval for a junior accessory dwelling unit and must record the deed restriction before their building permit is finaled.
Why it needs a notary
The signature block is marked '[Notarization Required]' and the city's directions explicitly state the signatures must be notarized before the document can be recorded with the county.
