Frequently asked questions
- How do I submit the completed affidavit?
- Use the Orange Beach Permit Portal’s “Request an Inspection” option on the permit and select “Mechanical Inspection Affidavit” as the inspection type.
- Do I need to sign this form in front of a notary?
- Yes. The form says the completed affidavit must be executed in the presence of a notary public, and the qualifying agent’s signature line says to sign only in the notary’s presence.
- Can I use a commissioned online notary?
- Alabama’s remote-notarization statute requires the notary to be physically in Alabama. Under Ala. Code §35-4-26, an acknowledgment taken outside Alabama may have the same effect when it follows the law where taken and bears the officer’s official seal. Confirm with the city or town if unsure.
- Who signs the affidavit?
- The qualifying agent who personally oversaw and inspected the work signs the affidavit and provides their HVAC license number, printed name, and date.
