Equity applicants interested in transferring their application/permit must complete the Transfer Request Form.  Please note that the transfer request form must be notarized.

Before submitting a transfer request form, our office encourages equity applicants to take advantage of the City's free legal assistance program for equity applicants by contacting the Knox & Ross Law Group.
