What is Owner's Statement of Consent – Sacramento, CA?
The Owner's Statement of Consent is the City of Sacramento form on which a property owner of record or landlord authorizes a cannabis business permit applicant to operate a cannabis business at the site and to apply for the permit.
The form is printed under the heading "Cannabis Business Permit Application" and is issued by the City of Sacramento Finance Department. The revision date on the page is December 18, 2025, and the form is one page long. It is not a permit and grants no approval by the City. It is a supporting document: the owner states in writing that the applicant may use the property.
The text reads "I, the undersigned legal owner of record, hereby grant permission to" the applicant, and then collects:
- the applicant's name, phone number and mailing address;
- the address of the subject property and its Assessor's Parcel Number;
- the printed name, address, phone number and email of the owner of record;
- the name and title of the person signing, plus a signature and date.
The City's cannabis forms page lists the form among the Forms as the business operating permit (BOP) application requirement if the applicant is not the property owner. It sits alongside other cannabis forms, such as the ownership and business structure disclosure, but it is a separate document with a separate purpose.
Who needs to file Owner's Statement of Consent – Sacramento, CA?
The main group is the property owner or landlord of a site where someone else wants to operate a cannabis business. The form's instructions say it must be completed by that owner or landlord when the applicant is not the owner of record of the subject site.
- Property owners of record: complete and sign the statement to authorize the applicant to operate at the site and to apply for a cannabis business permit for it.
- Landlords who are not the property owner: may be the signatory, but must also upload supporting documentation, for example a Management Services Agreement between the landlord and the property owner.
- Applicants: need this form from the owner or landlord when they do not own the site. They are named on the form but do not sign it.
An applicant who is the owner of record of the subject site is outside the form's instructions, because it applies only "if the applicant is not the owner of record." The form does not describe signing through an agent or representative other than a landlord.
When to file Owner's Statement of Consent – Sacramento, CA
The form is needed when you apply for a cannabis business permit for a site you do not own. The instructions say the completed form must be notarized and uploaded with the permit application, so it is submitted at the same time as that application and has no separate due date printed on it.
Prepare it before you submit the application: the owner or landlord must complete it, and it has to be notarized first. If the signatory is a landlord rather than the property owner, gather the supporting documentation at the same time so everything can be uploaded together. Check the City's cannabis forms page for the deadlines and steps of the permit application itself.
Documents you need
- Supporting documentation, such as a Management Services Agreement between the landlord and the property owner, only if the person signing is a landlord and not the property owner.

- Having the applicant sign when the applicant is not the owner of record; the property owner or landlord must complete the statement.
- Omitting supporting documentation when the signatory is a landlord and not the property owner, such as a Management Services Agreement with the owner.
- Sending a paper copy instead of uploading the completed form with the permit application.
- Leaving the Assessor's Parcel Number or the subject property address blank or inconsistent with the application.

- Preparing the form when the applicant is the owner of record; it is required only if the applicant is not.
