Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the representation affidavit notarized?
- Complete the owner information, but wait to sign until your video appointment. The notary administers the oath and completes the subscribed-and-sworn section; include the affidavit with the application if an agent applies.
- Do I need to notarize the land use application?
- The application itself has no notary block. The packet requires a separate Authorization of Representation Affidavit for each owner when an agent files, and that affidavit contains a notary block.
- Can I use a commissioned online notary?
- Arkansas authorizes remote online notarization under Ark. Code §21-14-309. Arkansas's Uniform Acknowledgment Act, Ark. Code §16-47-203, recognizes acknowledgments taken by a notary public or other authorized officer of another state. Confirm with the city if unsure.
- What else must accompany the application?
- The instructions list a cover letter, the application, and an area plan, plus the filing fee. An agent applying for an owner must also submit a separate Authorization of Representation Affidavit for each owner.
