Permit Transfer Request

[Name and address of groundwater authority]
Re: Application for Transfer of Ownership of [permit title] Permit No. [number] (the “Permit”)
[Salutation]
I am the current owner of the groundwater rights in the land located within the [name of groundwater authority] (the “Groundwater Authority”) and the owner of the Permit. I have entered into a contract with [name of buyer] (“Buyer”) to sell Buyer my entire ownership interest in the water rights that are the subject of the Permit. By this letter, I am requesting that the Groundwater Authority transfer the Permit to reflect Buyer’s purchase of my ownership interest, with the express condition that the transfer be “effective on the date of closing of Buyer’s purchase of the ownership interest in the water rights that are the subject of the permit referenced above.” I understand that following closing Buyer will provide to the Groundwater Authority appropriate documentation of the purchase.
Because Buyer is requiring issuance of a satisfactory permit from the Groundwater Authority in connection with closing, I request your prompt attention to this matter. If you have questions or require additional information regarding this application, please [describe contact information, e.g., call my office at [telephone number]].
