Form PO1, Property Owner Acknowledgement Form – Sacramento, CA

Form PO1, Property Owner Acknowledgement Form, is a one-page City of Sacramento form in which the owner of a property acknowledges and gives permission for a named business owner to conduct a described type of business at a listed property address.

The City of Sacramento Finance Department, Revenue Division, issues the form and prints its own address and phone number at the bottom of the page. The form has four sections:

• Section One: Business Information, with the business owner name, type of business, business name, phone number and email address.
• Section Two: Property Owner, with the property owner name, property address, phone number and email address.
• Section Three: Property Owner Acknowledgement, the permission statement, the property owner's signature and the date.
• Section Four: City Staff Only, with Received by, Date and Permit Number lines.

The city's Business Permits and Taxes page lists the form next to a separate Homebased Business Property Acknowledgement Form. The same page explains that anyone engaged in business in the city must obtain a valid Business Operations Tax (BOT) Certificate and that some business types also need a special business permit issued through the Revenue Division. Form PO1 itself states only the property owner's permission; it does not describe itself as a certificate or a permit.

The main group is business owners who will operate at a property they do not own and need the property owner's written permission on file with the City of Sacramento Revenue Division. The business owner fills in Section One, and the property owner supplies the details in Section Two and signs and dates Section Three.

• Property owners: the person who owns the address named in Section Two signs the acknowledgement. The form has a single signature line for the property owner.
• Business owners: you identify yourself, your business name and the type of business, which is also written into the permission sentence in Section Three.

City staff complete Section Four; applicants leave it empty.

The city's page lists a separate Homebased Business Property Acknowledgement Form alongside this one. If your permit instructions call for that form instead, use the one the instructions name. The form does not say who may sign on behalf of a property owner, so ask the Revenue Division at 916-808-8500 if someone other than the owner will sign.

No due date is printed on Form PO1. It is a supporting acknowledgement, and its Section Four has a Permit Number line for city staff, so it is handled together with a permit processed by the Revenue Division. The property owner signs and dates it before it goes to the city.

The Business Permits and Taxes page tells applicants to read each permit's instructions carefully to be sure all requirements are met. Check those instructions, or call the Revenue Division at (916) 808-8500, for the timing that applies to your permit.

The form does not name a submission channel. It prints the return contact of the City of Sacramento Revenue Division, so ask that office how to deliver it with your permit application.
