Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete and submit this packet?
- Complete the sections that apply to your permit, sign each sworn statement before a notary, and submit the packet to the Irondale Inspection Department with your permit materials.
- Do I need to notarize every page?
- The packet includes separate sworn-to-and-subscribed-before-me blocks on its sworn statement, subcontractor list, and occupancy request. Sign each applicable statement before a notary.
- Can I use a commissioned online notary?
- Alabama recognizes an acknowledgment taken outside Alabama when it follows the law where it was taken and bears the officer’s official seal. Alabama’s own remote-notary authorization requires the notary to be physically in Alabama. Confirm acceptance with the city or town if unsure.
- What information does the subcontractor list require?
- The form says to provide each subcontractor’s name, correct physical address, and phone number. It sets deadlines for the initial list and additions, and requires an updated list before a certificate of occupancy.
