How do I submit the Tuscaloosa water service statement?

Do I need to sign this statement in front of a notary?
Yes. The form includes a jurat stating that the affidavit is sworn to and subscribed before a notary. The property owner or manager should sign before the notary.
Can I use a commissioned online notary for this jurat?
Alabama’s remote-notarization law covers its own notaries when they are physically in Alabama. Acknowledgments taken outside Alabama may have the same effect if they comply with the law where taken and bear the officer’s official seal; this form calls for a sworn jurat, so confirm acceptance with the city or town if unsure.
What happens if information in the statement proves false?
The signer agrees to pay the delinquent bill and any other revenue due the City of Tuscaloosa, plus a $50 penalty, if the affidavit proves false.
