What this form is
Norco's Engineering Department requires owners merging adjacent parcels into a single lot to sign an Owner's Certificate confirming they hold sole record title interest and consent to recording the merger. Because the certificate is recorded with the county, the signature must carry a full California notarial acknowledgment before the City Engineer will approve and record it.
Who needs it
Property owners in Norco merging two or more adjacent parcels into a single lot under Municipal Code Chapter 17.32.
Why it needs a notary
The Owner's Certificate is recorded against title at the County Recorder, so state law requires the owner's signature to carry a notarial acknowledgment before recordation.
