What this form is
Murrieta's Land Use and Development application packet (DS-222) requires the property owner to certify consent to the filing in person, but when an authorized agent signs and files instead of the owner, the agent must attach a notarized letter of authorization from the legal property owner. This applies across the City's Development Plan, Conditional Use Permit, Variance, and Subdivision application types.
Who needs it
Murrieta property owners who want an architect, engineer, attorney, or other agent to sign and file a land use or development application on their behalf.
Why it needs a notary
The application states 'An authorized agent for the owner must attach a notarized letter of authorization from the legal property owner,' making notarization mandatory whenever an agent, rather than the owner, files the application.
