Frequently asked questions
- How do I submit the administrative subdivision application?
- Submit the completed application, proposed administrative plat, copy of the unrecorded deed, any required agent authorization, and fee to the Revenue & Inspections Department.
- Do I need notarization for this application?
- The application acknowledgment is separate from the agent authorization. If an agent is acting for the property owner, the authorization page includes an acknowledgment for the owner to sign before a notary.
- Can I sign the agent authorization with a commissioned online notary?
- Alabama recognizes an acknowledgment taken outside the state when it follows the law where it was taken and bears the officer’s official seal. A commissioned online notary may be an option; confirm acceptance with the city or town if unsure.
- What supporting materials does the form list?
- The form lists an administrative plat, a copy of the unrecorded deed, the application fee, and an Authorization to Act as Applicant when the applicant is not the current property owner.
