Frequently asked questions
- How do I get the title-holder affidavit notarized?
- Complete the affidavit details, then sign before a commissioned online notary. The notary completes the subscribed-and-sworn section and commission-expiration information.
- Do I need to notarize the entire special use permit application?
- The packet’s notary block appears on the affidavit in which a title holder authorizes an agent. The separate public-hearing notice affidavit has no notary block shown in the supplied form text.
- Can I sign this affidavit with an online notary?
- Arkansas authorizes remote online notarization by its own notaries, and its acknowledgment law recognizes acknowledgments taken by an authorized officer of another state. Check with the city about its requirements for this affidavit.
- What else must I submit with the permit application?
- The instructions call for a cover letter, a bill of assurance or a statement that none applies, and the filing fee. They also require notice to nearby record owners, supporting mailing evidence, and posting the city-provided sign.
- Where do I submit the completed application?
- The instructions direct applicants to the Department of Planning and Development at 723 W. Markham. Confirm with the city if unsure about submission details or whether a remotely notarized affidavit is acceptable.
