What this form is
Owners adjusting a lot line in Colton submit this application to the Public Works Engineering Division after receiving tentative or conditional approval, along with closure calculations and a title report. The document is recorded with the San Bernardino County Recorder, so the Owner's Certificate consenting to the adjustment must carry a notarized acknowledgment on the sheet that follows it.
Who needs it
Property owners, surveyors, or civil engineers adjusting the boundary between adjoining parcels in Colton.
Why it needs a notary
The Owner's Certificate page is immediately followed by a page labeled 'NOTARY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,' required because the completed Lot Line Adjustment is recorded against the property.
