Frequently asked questions
- Which part of the building permit application needs notarization?
- The owner-contractor affidavit includes a sworn/affirmed jurat. The property owner acting as their own contractor signs and swears or affirms before the notary.
- Do I need to notarize the entire application?
- The notary block appears on the attached owner-contractor affidavit, not the general application pages. The form calls for that affidavit when the owner is acting as their own contractor.
- How do I submit the completed Cedar Bluff building permit application?
- Complete the applicable sections, gather the required plans and supporting documents, and submit the application package to the Town of Cedar Bluff for review. The form says approval is required before work begins.
- Can I sign the owner-contractor affidavit with a commissioned online notary?
- Alabama law gives an out-of-state acknowledgment the same effect as one taken in Alabama when it follows the law where it is taken and bears the officer’s official seal. Ask the receiving office about its requirements; confirm with the city or town if unsure.
