Frequently asked questions

How do I notarize the agent authorization affidavit?
The title holder signs the affidavit authorizing an agent while a commissioned online notary administers the oath and completes the jurat. Do not sign the affidavit beforehand.
Do I need a notary for the entire variance application?
The packet includes a subscribed-and-sworn affidavit for a title holder authorizing an agent. The form does not show a notary block on the variance application itself.
What else must I submit with this application?
The instructions require three copies of a recent survey certified by a registered land surveyor, the filing fee, and an affidavit with supporting exhibits showing required notices were mailed.
Can I use online notarization for the affidavit?
Arkansas authorizes remote online notarization by its notaries under Ark. Code §21-14-309, and its acknowledgment law recognizes qualifying out-of-state notarial acts. Confirm with the city if unsure.
