Authorized Agent

I am the owner who wishes to file the Notice of Completion. The last paragraph calls for the form to be “verified,” meaning a sworn declaration by an authorized person as to the truthfulness and accuracy of the information supplied. Who could be an authorized person? Could I be an authorized person as a co-owner? Thank you so much!

Hello, Is the legal owner of the property a partnership, LLC, or corporation? If the latter, are you an officer of the entity? Best, Chris

My husband and me are the owners of a single family home. Does it mean I could verify the document?

This is Civil Code section 8182. See part (e) which seems to pertain exactly to your situation: (a) An owner may record a notice of completion on or within 15 days after the date of completion of a work of improvement. (b) The notice of completion shall be signed and verified by the owner. (c) The notice shall comply with the requirements of Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 8100 ) of Title 1, and shall also include all of the following information: (1) If the notice is given only of completion of a contract for a particular portion of the work of improvement as provided in Section 8186 , the name of the direct contractor under that contract and a general statement of the work provided pursuant to the contract. (2) If signed by the owner's successor in interest, the name and address of the successor's transferor. (3) The nature of the interest or estate of the owner. (4) The date of completion. An erroneous statement of the date of completion does not affect the effectiveness of the notice if the true date of completion is 15 days or less before the date of recordation of the notice. (d) A notice of completion that does not comply with the provisions of this section is not effective. (e) For the purpose of this section, “owner” means the owner who causes a building, improvement, or structure to be constructed, altered, or repaired, or that person's successor in interest at the date a notice of completion is recorded, whether the interest or estate of the owner be in fee, as vendee under a contract of purchase, as lessee, or other interest or estate less than the fee. Where the interest or estate is held by two or more persons as joint tenants or tenants in common, any one or more of the cotenants may be deemed to be the “owner” within the meaning of this section. All this said, notices of completion are tricky and require strict compliance so I suggest you consult with a real estate or construction attorney to help guide you.
